What is the relevance of the height of the vehicle? What if the truck had a 4" lift and bigger tires adding another 2"? Does the optimal slope and curvature change?

No. It still has to be shallow enough for attached flow at a given speed and steep enough to reduce cross section significantly. The template means nothing.
