Great thing to point out. Thats what I want to hear cause Im stuck on the decision of a 3" or 6" lift.

I want the 6" lift cause I've always wanted a perfect lift. Not too crazy and not too small. Plus I think the Procomp 6" lift is widely used and tested and have been nothing but good remarks on them. I think many of the 6" I've seen here on this forum have been awesome looking. I will mostly use my truck for to and from work. And people at my work thinks I'm crazy to spend that kind of dough on a truck, not to mention the crazy gas prices that is soaring right now. I thought about it and I say what others have always said... BECAUSE YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!!!!!!
That saying has always been STUCK on my mind, everytime I have a second thought about lifting my truck.

I really regret getting the Rancho Quicklift and RS9000XLs for my truck. I got them in hopes that they would improve the ride and looks of my truck. The Quicklift did raise the front about 2" and I could notice the difference but no one else could. The ride with the Ranchos was much worse than factory even on their softest setting. Overall I wasn't impressed with the quality of them either, the ride fermness adjusters were cheesy and didn't really click into each level like I thought they should. The bolts and nuts were also very cheap and I was afraid to tighten them too much because they looked like they would strip easily. I was unhappy enough with the ride that I decided to take them off and go back to stock. I was amazed to find that after only 1,000 miles of easy driving, all 4 shocks were leaking! Three of them were fairly minor but the front drivers side was soaked . So I took them off and sent them back to Rancho, under their 90 day ride guarantee for a full refund. Well that was about a month and a half ago and I still haven't seen a dime out of them! Their service is awfull and every time I call, theres a new excuse and they'll have the check "sent out tomorrow" . The moral of the story is don't buy Rancho! Ok my rant is over, I feal better now .

I see some regret putting the VOLANT CAI because of noise---I wish they were louder as I would like more noise than what I get with the VOLANT; but I guess it's my age like the other feller said---Maybe if I was a little older I would not want noise---Maybe when I am 80 years old I will feel different ! I guess it's because I am (72) years old that I am too young to like Quiet Pipes !

I regret installing Truck Nutz, especially when I pull into the church parking lot on Sundays.

Okay, you got me on that one. I had to Google Truck Nutz. Damn, that's funny.
