How?
If you lower the body it is attached to the frame in most cars. That means the frame is also lowed which will lower the ladder bar front mounting location. That change will absolutely NOT Hit the tires harder. It will hit the tires softer. Think about it, or plot it out if you need to.
You are lowering the point of Instant Center. You are lowering the actual Center of Gravity. You are even slightly lowering what some call the squat/no-squat line.
Lowering the rear of a car also does not improve weight transfer. That is something we thought back in the early 1960's. We raised the front and we lowered the rears. Doesn't work. You will not see one serious working car at the track that is set up like this.
Now back to the question and I do agree with checking and re-adjusting your pinion angle.
If you car is like most cars I have seen with lader bars, lowering it might help it. Most I have seen have too much monkey motion going on.

You are right about hitting the tires harder..it will soften the hit (apoligize :wink: ) But I still think a car that is level or even just below level will transfer weight easier...
