I've got a question concerning the actual ground clearance after typical lift kits are installed. I read the post stating that body lifts raise the body only, while suspension lifts, like the Trailmaster 4", actually lift the undercarriage.
My question is this, since the front and rear differential cases are the lowest parts on the truck, are they actually raised off the ground, or must I use larger tires to do this?
Second, if lift kits dont actually raise the drivetrain off the ground, what kind of kits do? Obviously the angle of the shafts must increase in order to lower the wheels compared to the diff. Am I correct or do I misunderstand?? Any info concerning any of these topics would be greatly assisting!
