body lift???

why oh why do people insist on getting them? i see a god damn s10 today with stock suspension and at least 4" of body lift! if you are too poor or too lazy to lift your truck the right way, then why bother? its right on par with lifted chevy ifs and "how much lift for 66" tires on my d35?"

A 2" body life makes room for headers & less room for mud to pack in there.

i like to think that it helps my truck with aerodynamic flow through.you know, like an air gap manifold, and it adds to downforce to keep my truck from doing massive wheelstands on hard launches

2" body lift also lets you run stock height & stock geometry in the steering dept. while running 35" = lower center of gravity too boot...
