My 2004 F150 body makes mine go faster than my jeep body.... Adds HP!!! The only difference is physical looks. Unless it is in some way a heavy body, it will not effect CG. With a taller body, lower your body mount posts. These trucks are also not big enough to worry about aerodymanic forces when racing. IT IS ALL THE LOOK!!
