Not so sure you want to increase clearance to climb better. To climb hills, you wanna be as low to the ground as possible, or at least your COG needs to be low, or you'll just roll over backwards.

To climb OVER obstacles, ground clearance is a good thing. Taller tires or an articulation mod is about the only way you're gonna get more ground clearance, unless you can find a way to make the rear end drive and suspension independent like the font.

The articulation mod that "Diets" did improves off road performance on these little trucks by about %1000. Seriously. I'll post a video shortly that shows two trucks, one pretty much stock, the other with the articulation mod, and its amazing the difference.
