Anyone wish they would have gone 6" instead of 3"?

I have a 3" lift and now I wish I had done a 6". Am I the only one that feels this way?

Anyone have a 6" that wish they would have only done a 3" lift??

I love my three. No interest in six at this time.

I love my 3" kit. Works great in the fast stuff out in the desert.

Re: Anyone wish they would have gone 6" instead of 3"?

no regrets at all with the 3". 6" was never and will never be in consideration (for me) based on looks, parking clearance, stability, amongst other things.

Re: Anyone wish they would have gone 6" instead of 3"?

I will upgrade to coilovers but remain 3". I've already been in a few situations where being taller wouldn't help. Center of gravity and height in general. Although with my lightbar I can't go into any garage now.

Re: Anyone wish they would have gone 6" instead of 3"?

Nope, I love my ICON 3.5" (DR) 6" is to high for off camber situations, it makes your COG to high IMHO.
