Question I need "lifts for dummys"

While I have no plans to get a lift right now, I will probably get one eventually. I understand the very basic concept, add more distance between the axle and the frame, thus giving you more clearance. But I do not have an understanding of all the details. How does an IFS handle the extra angle? If a 3" lift is added is there any increase in articulation, or just space? Is there a way to get articulation without a lift? Kits seem fairly small on parts... what about the control arms, sway bars, etc? Do lifts risk a less safe highway vehicle? Will a lift control the stability control and/or ATRAC, etc, etc.

Can somebody point me to a primer. I tried a few searches, but I just don't know the vocabulary.
