Shock relocation/laydown?
 
I've tried searching and not coming up with much...
Has anyone experimented with different shock mounting locations on these trucks, such as mounting shocks at a slight angle to improve performance?

Yes, I've found shocks work best stood up near vertical, but try it and see if you like it. It's more predictable and stable with them stood up (on any truck) ime. :)

Oh and too much suspension travel is detrimental to crawling ability.

Understood, just trying to experiment with a few things to see if the changes are for the better or the worse. I softened up the stock shocks and it seemed to improve crawling ability at the expense of more body roll that makes it somewhat challenging to control the truck at times.
