I agree with ferp. Too much articulation can cause more trouble than help.

About a tires height is the proper amount for best performance.

I actually remove articulation from my rigs to make them more stable by including sway bars and or shorter shocks. A low slung sshorter travel rig will usually out perform a 90* articulating rig. The high articulation looks cool on the bench, but in real world performance, does not hold up.

Notice my Trail King Yota...

Thank you for the explanation....but it does make sense....so....do you recommend more droop, than sprung....and what is your preference....internal spring setup or external. Thx again

I prefer external springs on my rigs. I use 90mm stock shocks on my Scx10 based rigs soft springs up front, and firmer out back
At ride height, my rigs usually have about 10-15mm of shock shaft exposed, allowing some up travel, but much more down travel, about 80%/20%

Observe my TK again...
