Default F350 HighLift body lift requirement?

I started to build my F350 HL yesterday and have a newbie question. Is it a requirement to add a body lift to it?

I don't see anything in the manual about a body lift, yet every F3fiddie I have seen here looks like it was bought from someone over at CT. :?

Personally, the only reason to run any lift is when you run 2.2s. Heck, I already think it sits too high in stock form.

I agree, body lifts are for posers in 1:1 and RC.

I was being facetious.

Why does everyone run the highlift body at the stock height? It looks like sh!t IMO.

its just a rc car who cares, and body lifts on real trucks do look really bad.

Slam that b1tch! And cut a hole in the window or hood to make sure the tranny doesn't interfere.

You know I am going to, even if I have to take a hammer to it.

Hey john don't lower the body. You are going to want to raise the transmission and the motor down and to the front to get better belly clearance.
If you want it lower just do a spring under. The they sit perfect.
You got p.m.

Amen to that bro. They only do one thing other than looking rediculously ugly; and thats to clear bigger tires. They do nothing for the capabilities of the rig. Just my $.02
