body lift center of gravity

i understand a body lift changes the vehicles center of gravity. but is it really that much of a consideration? if the suspension is stock, and with the greater percentage of the vehicles weight in the engine, drive train, supension etc., does a person really have to worry much about rollover when cornering and such? is it a tangible danger? i'd appreciate anyones input.

The body lift changes the COG very little compared to a suspension lift. You will barely notice any difference.

If your truck is at stock hieght or close to it the body lift doesn't change the COG all that noticably, but if the truck is already sky high then that extra 3" can make quite a difference. Think of it like a using a breaker bar to remove a rusted bolt, the longer the bar the more leverage and easier it is to break it loose.
