Why do people do body lifts instead of cutting out the wheelwells and
making them larger? It doesn't increase your suspension travel any,
does it?
Am I missing something here?

It makes room for bigger tires with a minimum of work. Or so you think,
until you realize that the fan and shroud don't match up, and the shifter is
popping out of gear. You don't have to worry about your driveshaft angle
with a body lift. There are advantages, but you are right that you don't
get more suspension travel. Not everyone needs it.
