Dont know much about asphalt, but ride heights are probably the same, depends on how rutted up the track gets.
I like a neutral car, so my cross is usually 50-50.5%
Good starting place for springs would be:
165   185
170  150
Swap the rears if you want a looser car.

Tire pressures, assuming you havea beadlock:
10   12
10   9

Thats what I ran with BFG's, wasn't the fastest, but it was easy to drive.
The more caster split you have, the more the car will turn to the left, which you probably know from asphalt
I usually ran a 5 degree split
