RE: new crawler
 
With a regular spring setup the shocks are extended by the springs, on a droop setup the springs are internal (if used at all) and the shocks are compressed normally. The advantage of the droop setup is that the truck sits lower for a lower center of gravity. On the other hand the regular shock setup has more ground clearance.

Real shocks can have springs on them too, check out some real shocks on 1:1 crawlers.
