Mount all the electronics as low as possible.
At he skid plate level would do.

bent lower links will give you more clearance with out raising the center of gravity.
or
you could get taller tires, longer shocks... but these will raise cog.
So then you'll need to move as much weight down low as you can to offset the new height.
You can add weight to the wheels, 3-9oz in each wheel.

A longer wheel base can help or hurt depending on terrain. It may make it more stable on easy verticals but will hurt your break over.

IF you figure out how to raise your skid height WITHOUT raising your COG or extending your wheelbase, you have solved the riddle and will be the crawling god.
