Lift kit or leveling kit — what did you end up regretting?

The choice looks like height and price, and it is really about what else has to change: geometry, driveline angle, gearing for the tire size, and whether the front end is still doing what the factory intended.

Background reading, if you want the categories straight first: Lift Kit or Leveling Kit: Which One You Actually Need.

The question for this thread is narrower and more useful. Whatever you installed:

  • What did it not do that you expected it to?
  • What did you have to buy afterwards that you had not budgeted for?
  • Would you buy the same kit again?

Regret is more informative than satisfaction here. Most people are happy with what they bought right up until the second bill.
