Well think of this, if you racing with long travel your going to have more body roll and you might be sliding around. A higher car on a track is actually worse. Your supposed to lower it so your a-arms are parallel with your chassis, so that you have the most control and it really does help

when you lower the truck you need to make the suspension stiffer. I wouldn't recommend lowering it to much because you will loose suspension travel.

If you use the stock LT springs and have no swaybars i predict it cartwheeling a lot.
My buddy's e-revo did especially at higher speeds and a 3.3 revo is way faster than that E.

An interesting idea i was thinking was stiffer springs with Lt rockers swaybars.
You could get the outside tires to bite really well onroad with some camber with the low cg of the lt rockers might handle pretty good i think with the right setup.
