Post Post mod regrets... What are yours?

I personally love my setup. It rides great and the gears along with firmer shifting make for pretty quick moving truck considering the setup.

BUT, if I had to say one regret it's not stepping up to the Rize 12" or just adding a body lift (I'm just not a huge fan of body lifts) to run 40s. Other than that no regrets. What about you?

Dood you just put on 38x15.5's, you can't be wanting more

Seriously a person will always want more, just the nature of the beast. I started out wanting a level and 33's, then a 4" and 35's, ordered a fabtech 6", then sent it back and got the rize 8" which is goin on the 15th.

I have no regrets yet as nothing is installed yet, I'll tell you in two weeks whether I have regrets. Currently I have none, I'm just glad that I didn't install and lose money on a smaller lift before going to the rize.

Wish I would've waited instead of buying a toolbox the first week I had the truck. Had one in my 97 F150 and thought I needed one in my 07. Now I have a Bakflip tonneau cover that the toolbox won't work with. LOVE the tonneau, but $200 wasted on the toolbox as well as some mounting holes in the floor of the bed. Oh well, maybe I can sell it for $150 to someone close and get a mat so I don't have to see the holes.

My only regret is not going straight to a 6" lift with 35s, instead my friend talked me into sticking with 33s so I just did a leveling kit. Loved the setup but am now installing a 6" fabtech with 35s... haha

I thought the 10" and 38s was going to be too much. It's definitely bigger than I expected from looking at pics.. My truck is huge (to me). I have to jump to get in the bed and I'm 6ft tall!

Next mod will be 40s tho. As of now I love this setup. I was just up at the offroad shop looking at trucks while they re torqued everything and made me want more.. I need to stay away from that place!! Always makes me wanna spend more money.

4by shops and this site are very hard on the wallet...too many cool trucks to give ideas

Only regret I may have is going with 4.88's with 37's. I have the 4.6 though so I'm thinking that was the best choice of gear. Time will tell.

Havent done a whole lot to the truck yet, so none so far really.

I kind of regret not having new tires ordered yet, and having the new wheels, tires, and leveling kit on, but oh well.

Regrets???? Just two.

1. Buying a glass lid instead of a retractable one.
2. Buying a Bedslide; if I had a retractable cover I wouldn't have bought it, plus I only used it a few months before I bought an enclosed trailer for my biz. Now it just sits in storage.

I only have 2 regrets:

1. That I have is that I didn't get Toyo M/T's or Cooper STT's for my summer wheels. But I ended up getting a killer deal on my Nitto Terra Grapplers, $620 shipped for 325/60/18's. But my next are going to be Toyos or Coopers.

2. I didn't get a in dash DVD player when I swapped out my HU.

My only regret is that I was talked into buying the Mark Lt with a 5.5 bed for $500 less than the King Ranch that I really wanted that had a 6.5 bed.God I hate black trucks.
