I drive a lifted SUV or sport-ute and love it. I can go anywhere I want. 
Can you climb mountains in it like they do in the commericals?
No doubt of course I can. With my raised ground clearance and ruggedness I can climb Mt. Everest.
That would be really fun to do take it off roading on a weekend or something.
It works best for me because it has the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan. I can take the boat and the family to the beach at the same time. 
Nice how much does something like that run you? I think I might like to get a lift on my SUV.
Depends on what height you want and what brand you buy. Lift kits work well on SUV's  because they are built on light-truck chassis.
I wonder how long they have been allowing the public the have lifts on their vehicals?
I'm not sure I've been doing it since the 60's. Everyone needs one for it's all-wheel drive set up for off-road capability.
