Firmly starting to regret the 37" tires I bought a couple weeks ago and the RK 3.5" springs.

Now I am starting to see why:
Many people go to and stop at 35" tires.
Many people cut flares and pinch seams rather than try to get the lift high enough to clear 37" rubber with no cutting.

There is a lot of pain in my Jeep life currently. And it all costs money to cure.

I don't have any significant regrets, but more frustrations than anything. Most of it come from when one modification conflicts with another modification. Or not researching a modification enough prior to purchasing a part. I have occasionally ordered the wrong part number, 1 digit off, because of the pricing. An example of conflict issue; I ran into issue with my Flashcal programmer, conflicting with trying to install a supercharger tune from another brand programmer-they ultimate would not work together.

Regret buying a 2.5" lift, and then deciding one year later that I really need the 3.5" lift. Hopefully I will stop at the 3.5" - Haaaa.

I just upgraded from 2.5" rough country springs to 3" Synergy springs. HUGE difference.

Pretty sure I have plenty of room to put 37's on now (currently running 35's).

I bought Evo rockskins powdercoated. I then decided to add a little color to my Jeep. I knew powdercoat was tough but had no idea it was THAT much of a pita to remove. I got it done myself but it took ALOT of my time.

Regret dropping my hard too and smashing the rear glass. Pretty damn expensive for a flat price of glass.

I've always been afraid I would have that happen...

How much was it?

You could have been hit by a rock going down the highway...just saying

No regrets. I'm just happy driving my Jeep, on and off road.
