An Rc answer is...less glitching
or it just looks better on the upperdeck and to make room for larger electronics on the chassis.... the upperdeck is drilled to accept the stock antenna mount.
Basically...It's pretty much drivers preference...

If you raised it higher, isn't that more surface to cause air drag?

Shims
How many shims are you running in your rear diffs?
I run mine as per kit and keep having problems with the rear diff skipping over the bevel gear, it keeps happening and its getting annoying
