the only way a body may help is if your truck was nose heavy, then you could try and get a wing for your body so the air would push the car back while it in the air. But thats may not work just something i thought off. If the trucks rear heavy while going off a jump then you need to put on the brakes just after you truck leaves the jump. But for the most part the body wont correct bad jumping habbids, you need to manaully correct them by either braking or giving it throttle.

Bodies aren't for jumping, they are for landing. If you are out jumping your truck, I wouldn't do it without a body, you really do not want it to land upside down or to tumble/cartwheel without a body. Best case, you break a shock tower, worst case, your cylinder head is the main point of contact with the ground, then you have a whole new mess of problems...
