The moment arm is the theoritical link, between the RC and CG. The longer or shorter it is, the more leverage it can apply over the suspensions movement, or not.

That being said, if you have a vehicle with a high CG (AE 4x4), it may, i dont know off hand, but it may have a low RC. When you combine them too, you have a long moment arm, and it will behave in a high traction, then traction roll manner. Same would go in the opposite hand, short moment arm, no traction, skid.

Then, you can add into the mix Centrifugal force, generated by the CG. If you remember the XX4, add a Quarter to the rear shock tower, up at the top, and the thing went from geek to sheek, back in the day. Raise the CG, and creates grip.

So most cars are only relative to there own design. Unless both share simlar size and weights. So basicly its a package deal you need to look at.
