On the subject of short people and springs:

I installed OME medium duty springs and shocks from Lucky8 about a week ago. I wanted to keep as close to stock height as possible because my co-driver is only 5'2". She needed a hand to get in before the new springs... Now the rocker panel is at her knees and she has to use a folding step stool I got from Target. (Tip: tie some cord to it so it can be pulled in).

For the record, I'm 6'2", I can get in just fine.

 

There are benefits to a lift, but you also may want to look at the negative from a lift, worse gas mileage, limited garages you can get into, harder to get in and out of, more rapid driveline wear, more lean in corners, more of a pita to work on the engine, etc....

The only practical reason for a lift is to run larger OD tires, or for a bit of additional body & chassis clearance. You won't gain any clearance where it really matters, under the axles, unless you install larger diameter tires or portal axles.
People who install a lift and claim better handling on the road most likely went from worn out springs. It's the new springs that provide the better handling, not the lift. You could achieve about the same with new OE standard or HD springs.

 

It is 1000x more pleasant to do work under the truck when you have a lift.

With +2" and 31" tires you can get into all 7' parking garages.

 

You could always help her up by her booty. That's how I help my wife any chance I get. See Above

 

I was going to point that out but you beat me to it!

 

A slightly better height for viewing over the thousands of cars in front of you while waisting away your life in traffic.

 

I'm usually pretty quick getting to the booty. My wife thinks I a bit obsessed.

 

Spike you kill me! I did a 3" TF HD lift and love it. I have added a lot of weight...Mine drives better with the lift. If you are a little person you need it!
