I would rather have a lifted truck than a stock truck for handling any day !!!! No body roll and better handling. I'm not talking about your just add blocks and a body lift and run, but a real suspension lift done correctly. I have been lifting trucks and jeeps for over 20 years and the only problems I have ever seen are the guys who don't want to spend their money to do it the correct way.
I guess it runs in the family.....Here's my son's Jeep. Can you do this with stock suspension?????

Re: WHY does one 'jack-up' their truck?
I lifted/leveled mine because its what I've always wanted. Since I was in 8th - 9th grade I've wanted a lifted truck. I used my brain and did lots of research and came up with what I thought was reasonable and safe that would still allow me to pull any load I choose.
