The smith machine doesn't fully hit the ground, but I have a short torso, long arms, and long legs so the couple inches of elevation helps me to feel like I am not fully bending over the bar, if anything kind of helps my form and allows me to focus on hip drive if that makes sense.
I'm only going to have access to a smith machine for dead lifts, it has a 45 lb bar but will it hinder my gains? I've heard it won't work your stabilizers but will that affect your vertical?
@chaz72987 stabilization isn't much of an issue with deadlift. I don't think you'll lose much if any benefit using a smith machine. Does the weight lower all the way to the floor tho? I don't think it usually does. May have to compensate by elevating yourself a little. Also, you can't count the bar weight as 45 lbs. The machine practically lifts the bar for you once it gets moving.

Ok, the bar not being 45 lbs technically makes sense because I was doing 305 on it which I never hit before. Thanks for the reply.
