Forgive me if I missed it!!!
I tried searching through 275 pages of Q&A but my eyes hurt now.
Here is my question:
Has anyone ever wished they got a bigger lift after the first one was done?
I mean Im looking into the 3" by Rough Country.
Am I going to want the 6" in a year or so?
Should I just get the 6" now?
Thanks.
Sorry again.

I think it is common knowledge that most of us get a lift and then after running it a while go 'I want to go a little higher.'
So my word of advice is alway upgrade with this in mind, 'So if I get this lift what will it take to make it a little taller.' This means that given options or spending money on parts ask, will I be able to use thim when I go a little higher.
For me it meant taking a little extra time and getting for instance, adjustable LCA, UCA and adjustable track bar, things like that.
Again, welcome to the JOMI Club.

I've got 6.5" lift and I'm thinking about going down an inch or two. Lcog. 4.5"to 5.5". Bigger tires more cutting. Anyway. The bigger you go the more you spend

If I HAD to pick something to criticize, it would be that their X-flex joints aren't that great - they wear out fast. However you can rebuild them, or replace them with Currie Johnny Joints when they do wear out, so it's not a big issue. You should be ready to upgrade by then anyways!
