Does Performance Suspension Have To Be Low?

Could a truck be set up for autocross and perform well and not be in the weeds? I am referring to a 5/7" drop and below as in the weeds. Frame rail lower then 7" from the ground. Does a couple inches lower really make a big difference in performance?

This all stemmed from watching KC's video of his truck. His truck doesn't seem low and it looked like it performed well.

That truck is lowered 5" or so. What getting it down does is lower the center of gravity and that is a big part of getting it to handle.
