Hmm...
There have been a few different schools of though that I have seen used on rock crawlers. If it is a pure trail rig, then you can get away with some weird stuff that would never work on the street. I have driven a few street/trail rigs that were a bitch to drive on the street unless all you were doing was driving straight.
So the big question, would less roll compliance be an advantage on the trail? I don't know if you have ever seen the "scorpion" back in the day, but it had theoretically no roll compliance and was a fairly dominant force. So based on that theory, I would have to say that yes, less roll compliance would be an advantage. I think that the trick will be to have each end of the vehicle (front and rear) be independently compliant without having a vehicle that leans over excessively. The scorpion used an elaborate linkage to eliminate body roll without sacrificing compliance. Maybe a super tall roll center?
Let me know what you come up with. I'm curious.
