Chassis Earth?

It would appear my chassis is not earthed.

Should it be, and if not, is there a reason why I shouldn't make it so?

Thanks

I've not long had the body lifted, but wasn't sure if the chassis, as opposed to the body was also earthed. 2011 Discovery 4 Commercial SDV6 (Gone)

Thank you Disco Mikey, that was what I was after.

I didn't want to earth the chassis if it wasn't meant to be, and give myself probabal problems later.
