Lift kits on trucks "look cool" to many but often create drive train and suspension problems that can be quite expensive over time. Lifting also makes it difficult for shorter people to get in and out and usually that "shorter person" is the DW.
Lifting also limits access to repair parts like shocks, etc. If you break or wear out one you might have a difficult time finding one at your local parts house.
I know that people wiht longer trailers often put on lift kits to keep the tail from dragging when entering driveways etc. Kind of the same argument here too. Raising the trailer on the suspension puts it higher off the ground and more susceptible to winds. Also more stress on spring mounts due to increased leverage from side loads.
If it's absolutely necessary for specific reasons I guess they have their place.
