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.

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.
