Question Chassy set up

When customizing a crawler (ie tall tires and wheels with 16" or so WB), is there any disadvantage in having the chassis sit foward? In other words, front links and driveshaft shorter, rear longer? Also, having the chassis/skid slightly raked or slanted (lower in front)?

Thanks for the help.

There was a big trend called 60/40. Longer rear links/ shorter front links.

The shorter front links were thy problem, as such they scribed a much tighter path and suspension no as good.

I giveth thee words to search with.
