Default I am losing my mind!

I know you will all tell me to search threads and I have. I have read everything I can find. I also know that I just need to make a decision. However, I cannot decide on a lift. I have narrowed it down to the Rough Country 4" or the Rusty's 3.25". I think they will both net about the same lift and I have a four door so I should be ok with driveshafts. I will be running 36" iroks. Do any of you have any information you could share before I order?

Paralysis by analysis.

Flip a coin...if you feel good about the result, get the lift the coin picked.

If disappointed by the results, get the other lift.

Default Why rusty's though?

I like the phrase, Paralysis by Analysis, which is something I suffer from often, probably due to my career. Do you mind if I use that in my practice, TEEJ?

Is there anyone out there willling to buy both, try them out and then give me a detailed report? LOL

Default Plus Delta

This happens to me all the time. If it's a big purchase, the paralysis lasts for a couple of weeks...

I'll end up using a technique we use at work to make big decisions called a 'Plus Delta'. Get yourself a pencil and paper and make two columns.

The left column should have a Plus sign '+' at the top, the right side a Delta sign or a '-' sign or whatever, you get the picture.

List all the positives and negatives for both kits, either on the same sheet or do them separately and see which one ends up having the most positives.

If it's really close, then you may have to go back and weight the comments, or add a number between one and 10 or whatever, then add them up.

Hope that helps! I'm checking myself in for anti-analness therapy soon...
