But yes as the OP was stating EOC is safer than a lifted truck, its just that the stoping distance may though not often actually be better than stock. Expecially when compaired to the cheap *** no grip tires that come from the factory.

I built a heep cherokee 3-4 years ago,put a 4.5 Full lift kit with all the proper parts including extended sway bar end links, with 31" tires the truck was a little wavy in the corners but not too bad,it stopped normally but the tires were only 31" 1.5 inches larger diameter than stock, barely any weight difference. In all fairness i have never driven a truck with 37-42" tires but i do expect it to ride poorly/dangerous on the road especially on corners.
