Just want to make sure i understand the different principals of different methods to "lift" 4x4's .
Lets say the choice is a 2" lift using strut spacers , or 2" suspension lift or 2" inch bodylift .
It seems to me a strut spacer is exactly the same as fitting longer but standard springs over a standard shocker . It changes nothing other than to lift the truck in the same way as removing the weight of engine and body might - Am i correct ?
A pro suspension lift does the same thing but because longer than standard springs and shocks are used it allows the tyres to stay in contact with the ground under extreme articulation . The upwards travel doesn't improve over a strut spacer that i can see - am i correct ?
A body lift alone gives no real advantage with regards to articulation it simply gives room for bigger tyres to be fitted - am i correct ?
