Brandon and Freddy, I know you ran up there not to long ago with good results any ideas besides extra Barnholing
Your biggest enemy on carpet is going to be traction rolling.
Use your stock AE tires or some old, semi-bald race tires.....just clean em up good. Bring some CA or extra tire glue for the side walls if needed.
Lowered ride height isn't always good as they sometimes like to throw in a corrugated plastic siding section that rattle your ride and your nerves if you don't have the travel to glide over it.

So yeah,
-stiffer springs
-bald tires (clean em up good and sauce em up good)
-lots o' camber, especially in the front
-tighter diff
-stand your front shocks up

Just my 2 cents......
