Nice - I bought a set late last year too and I find them really useful.
However, you have to plan for what you will do when you get a flat tyre with them installed. I opted for for a raw jack which means the draws can stay in place. It works really well.
Keeping stuff in the drawers separate and not in one jumble is also a good idea. I played around with all sorts of dividers, boxes etc but ultimately chose suitcase packing cubes. The mesh top lets you see what’s inside and the different sizes enables good use of space.
I also installed spring loaded handles to the drawer sides to assist with installing and removing the them. It was a simple upgrade that has made the world of difference in handling. So much easier! I added two handles to each side and also two at the back side too ( this makes pulling the drawers into the truck so much easier - you can lift them rather than dragging).
Finally, a rubber mat to protect the seats from damage. I found that the the seat backs were scrapped and damaged from the underside of the drawers when installing/ removing the drawers. Just a cheap rubber mat that I cut to size is perfect.

Spare wheel has been sorted a while, a socket and U/J with tape wrapped round it, glued on to the winch bolt all I need is a long 3/8 extension and ratchet
Been playing with boxes and containers to store tools etc never gave those organisers a a thought, might have to investigate those.
Just need to make and extension for the front to fold down into a bed
