You'll have the same amount of clearance on a trailer with an 8" lift, as you would on one with a 2" lift, IF they are both running the same size tires.

Edit:::: I wrote the above and just realized you weren't even talking about ground clearance. You are right... A lift would pay off when you need to keep the cargo out of the muck. Good point helo!
I think both are good, bigger wheels and tires and a lift of the axle. Every bit helps, well until it gets so high it is unstable.
