While I agree generally, in his defense most of what you have labeled "Odd, nonsensical lift" IS needed because those gargantuan tires wouldn't fit in the fenders.  The body lift is simply to get the clearance for the tires.  

Looking at the exposed drivetrain it looks like the lift was strictly a body lift as it appears that the engine is down with the tires not up with the body so it looks like all they did was put REALLY big tires on it and then move the body up enough to fit the tires.

You also get more spring travel with extra lift, which can be useful, of course.  Then you need lift to ensure the tires are clear of the body under a compressive load.

It's a silly vehicle to me.

It's a silly vehicle to anyone, except perhaps the monster truck community.  That's why I posted it. :)

But the whole joke, is the deliberately undersized donut spare...

this looks photshopped but, I've seen regular sized wheels and tires put on one one these "lifted" trucks to be able to get it into the paint shop or repair shop without a tall door.

Upon our return from the 1996 Fiesta Bowl (62-24). 3 of us were in a 1990 Tercel or Corolla?  We left the rest of our party in Colorado Springs and had a flat near Castle Rock, CO.  We needed to get to Omaha that day.  We drove on a donut in 20 degree weather the entire 500mile route.   I can tell you we weren't obeying the speed limit.  50 miles and 45mph my ass.
