Same here I've had my 3" lift for bout 4 months and 31s wishing I would of saved up another week or two for the 4.5 now have to buy the 4.5 and do the install all over again... Crappy....

 

Bushwhackers cut up all my body mud water get in more road noise but they look so damn good. Wanted to take my lift off sell my jeep and buy another on then realized It wouldn't look good stock with bushwhackers!

 

ok heres mine i let my bro talk me into using these steel spring spreaders he called them "knuckles" to level out my xj well after a month i decided to use 1.5" poly spacers and i had to replace the g.d. coil springs cause these things caused them to sag... so note to self "no listen to brother, ever again..."

 

On po's, the ppo did do a good job of a 4.5" long arm, but the po decided to remove all the plastic interior trim, then go wheeling with his dog in the back. As I was cleaning and putting the trim back in I found a bunch of rotten dog food and a black plastic bag full of I don't know what in one of the rear quarter panels. Been about a year and I think I finally got the smell out.

 

I ripped out the interior, mostly fine with it, but I should have redone my headliner instead of throwing the whole thing away. Summer in AZ it's like an oven, 130* easy if it's left in the sun.

 

I don't get why there's posts on here that say they shouldnt have put good vents in. Ya, when you're out driving around town they may not drop the bay's temp dramatically, but when you're parked after driving I've noticed a quicker decline in temps. Alleviated the need to pop the hood.

For me...I wish I hadnt installed my blower fan till after I replaced my radiator. Now I'm going to have to remove it and find a way to reinstall it w/o the clips the fan came with since I'll need to cut those to get the fan out.

 

Making the switch from 2wd stock to 4wd and 4" lift in the driveway.. Then 2 months later had to pull the tranny all over again

 

i was going to do this lol

 

crap,i wouldn't have even bought it! just empty every pocket my butt, now i have taken to robbin folks just to feed my addiction

 

Should of used these

 

lol my regret was putting 31x10.5'' tires on stock lift. makes one h311 of a noise rubbing control arms. and the po on my last xj put lock tight on lug nuts. had to drill the studs cause i dont have any acess to heat

 

? Nah, I'm happy with mine.

 

no regrets on any mods....but i do regret buying my MJ.

not because its an MJ, but because of the condition it was in. thing came with multiple bad rust spots (including both rockers), an engine that eventually blew a hole in piston #6 (which happened after i replaced the head due to a burnt valve on cyl. 3), and lots of hack crap; including a home made "CAI" as you people like to call them and a "junkyard injector upgrade".

I suspect the junkyard injectors were running lean which caused the burnt valve and hole in the piston, which is even dumber because the "upgraded" injectors don't do crap. i have rebuilt bosch type 3 injectors now but only because they were cheaper than new stock replacements and there was no way in heck i was gonna run what the PO put in there after they probably destroyed my engine.


so yeah, if you feel the need to get an injector "upgrade" i would highly suggest buying them rebuilt/cleaned online instead of playing russian roulette with junkyard injectors. i would also like to point out that i did not fix the ghetto cold air intake, but i threw on a reliable stock air box.


i also have 3" of lift on 31s and have no regrets. i pieced it together as i got parts for real cheap so I'm not really out a lot of money. i do plan to go to 33s eventually but i don't plan on lifting it much, if at all. you have to trim your fenders for bigger tires anyway regardless of lift height, so that will be happening instead of me "getting the urge to go higher".

actually, the only regret i have is not going with a quality track bar sooner. i ran the stock, lasted a wheeling trip before it crapped out. ran a RC adjustable unit with the same TRE design and that failed quickly too. Finally went with the RE double shear system with the brace and everything and so far its been awesome. i would never run another track bar again.



yup. that is all.

 

I regret painting/ bedlining the jeep and floor boards before I did all the welding and cutting I've done and still have to do

 

It seems like you recommend these a lot. Any advantages to them?

I somewhat regret getting bigger tires and not re-gearing my axles. I will definitely have that on my to-do list for my current Cherokee and the next time I do a lift, I'll definitely be re-gearing.
