Lift Regrets?
Just wondering if anyone regrets installing a lift? or regrets the brand they bought ? or the type of lift,(Budget boost vs suspension)?

I do regret the brand of Lift I got. The front shocks have sagged 2" over 1 1/2 years. When you consider that it was a 3" lift that equates to 66% loss! I know that sagging does happen to some degree but this is crazy. Worse part is that the manufacturer is not replying to my phone calls or emails.

None here.
Love my OME HD/Full Traction/Rock Krawler frankenlift.
The only things different I'd do is LT OME shocks & Currie spring retainers and do it all at one time, instead of piecemeal.

Just got off the phone with the manufacturer of my lift. I was informed that the coils are not made to be used with the added weight of aftermarket bumpers and winches! I explained that I have HD springs and that this amount of sag is not acceptable for a company that is suposed to have great aftermarket products. I was told that there is nothing that they could do but that they would be happy to sell me new coils. So that they could do the same and I'd have to replace them again in 1 1/2 years! Can't believe that such a manufacturer won't standby their products.

Aftermarket lift not made to work with aftermarket bumpers?
Glad I did not buy that lift. Thanks for the warning! Hope you get it resolved. Springs usually are cheap so just choose a better quality spring and don't look back.
