Technically droop is referred to as down travel. Meaning how far the wheel or shock will travel down. Up travel is adjusted by shortening or making the shock longer.If you shorten the shock the useable shock shaft is shorter there for allowing the wheel to travel upwards less. Use this when you get a lot of roll to reduce roll. it will keep the chassis on the weighted side (outside of turn) from compressing so much that the chassis scrapes the ground.

And for the record, I set ride height, then do droop by raising the chassis to get the measurement over ride height. If I then feel the car is rolling to much you can fine tune the roll with the shock length. However you will need to go back and reset ride height and droop. I did like when the Losi JRXS had separate screws for up travel and down travel. It was easier.

Downstops = the point at which you set the stop of downward wheel travel.
Droop = the amount the chassis will droop from a fully extended suspension to ride height.
