Default OK, Your Running 40's Now...Any Regrets?

Anyone out there decided to run 40" tires and now regrets it. Just curious. You here about people pushing hard to run 40" tires and how some wish they would have bought 37's instead of 35's. But what about the other side of the coin. Anyone out there wish they would have stuck to a 37" or even a 38" instead of a 40" tire?

I have heard plenty of guys say that they regret having bought 40's (and even 37's). The one thing they all had in common was that they had tried to save money by upgrading the stock axles instead of upgrading to Dana 60's. 37+ tires break a lot of parts so you need to beef up the running gear first.
