What do raising kits do to on road ride & handling?

[Kermit power]

I like the idea of this, but due to the imminent arrival of a third offspring, the Shogun is also the main transportation for the family, leaving me with my 2 child family friendly estate as a weekend toy!

Do lifting kits have much impact on on road ride, handling, performance or fuel consumption?

I've also noticed people talking about having both suspension and body lifts. What's a body lift?

Thanks.

I could do either on the Shoggie, but as it's the main family lugger as well, I think the better option might be to do neither!
