If you can lower the CG, you can make the vehicle handle better in theory.  
In practice, it is just mostly for looks.

With soft grippy wide low profile tires, a low stance, a good front / back 
weight distribution, and a long chassis I would think that most trucks would 
start to come close to handling kinda like a big 1970's sedan.  Is that an 
improvement?

Of course, when the truck is "slammed" it is so low that it is pretty much 
useless for handling because any body roll will make it scrape.  Big heavy 
frames and big solid axles will quickly negate any "good" handling 
characteristics quickly.
