I think people write they have 4" of lift. 4" of lift being a combination of suspension and body... who cares?

I think your question is just petty and technical. Do you really think people do not know the difference between a body and suspension lift?!?!?!

Read it again!! A lifted truck is suspension not body! I was just wondering why people add a body lift to their suspension lift or say there truck is lifted when all they have is a body lift. So if I were to cut my fenders to clear bigger tires, would you consider that a lift? Who cares? If you don't, why post?

You're just wrong. Understand that.

Cutting is cutting.
Lifting is lifting.
Putting blocks between the body and frame LIFTS the body up. And body lifts allow for (easier) dualcase install, clocked tcase, working access to various components, etc.

Yeah I'm wrong Your explaining to me what a body lift does, thanks I never knew that. I think I will take my truck and put 5 inches of lift on it. Anyone know where I can get some cheap hockey pucks? Hell with my new lifted truck I probably can get $1000 more for it with a "custom" lift! Some of you crack me up.

i wasn't arguing the validity of body lifts in your eyes, just trying to explain that they are widely considered a form of lift and so will be factored in many answers to lift. at least around here.

why do you even bother asking if you won't listen to people's answer.
