Please suggest ways to lower the center of gravity

[Veteran]

I'm very keen to lowering the center of gravity while keeping all the stock elements. For example, I would keep a heavy body and inner body, 550 sized (heavy) motor at a little higher position in front, a heavy battery at a little higher position in back, two micros servos for dig and 2-speed. With such a heavy vehicle, how can I further lower the center of gravity?

I'm planing to buy the heavy rims, a brass wheel hex extended adapter, brass portal cover, but might not be enough. Could you guys please share your wisdom with me on lowering the center of gravity?

Thank you!

Start with a smaller lighter motor like a Holmes stubby, lowering and cutting that weight is critical. More weight down low is..... more weight.
Portal covers or knuckles, should be enough weight , shorter shocks, tire size, I’m not a fan of wheel extenders as now it’s too wide.
