That's hardly a body lift.  They lowed the engine / transmission to fit the
fuel tank.  The rear suspension bolts on to the same location.  A body lift
would be the Golf Country Syncro.

yes it has been done, vw did it.  go measure a syncro and compare it to
your two wheel drive.  the first indication can be seen by comparing the
differences in engine cross bar carriers.  you will note that the syncro
bar was dropped about 2" from the bottom of the frame rails.
