Default Having second thoughts on lift

Hey all,
Like the title suggests I'm having some second thoughts on the lift kit I purchased. While I would love to put it on I just dont think I'm gonna have the money to do it, at least not right now. Should I just hold onto it until I run into some more cash or should I just cut my losses and try to resell it and then just go with a smaller cheaper lift? Maybe a level kit or just some spindles?

You've already got the lift kit? What's the problem then? Get you're butt outside and put the thing on. If you don't have the $ for tires, let that wait then.

I made this mistake with my old truck. Bought a lift, had second thoughts and sold the lift for a small loss. Then about 6 mos. later bought the same lift again! Keep the lift, save some money until you can get it installed (If you don't think you have the right tools/know how to install it yourself safely).

Besides, if you sold it and got a smaller "cheaper" lift, you would not be as happy as you will be with the lift that you have now which I am assuming is a quality lift such as RCX or Fabtech?? Keep it and save.

Second Thoughts? Man, I was hoping to see it with the lift on already.
Maybe this will change your mind, this is how that lift will look on your truck, seeing is how it's the lift kit ya bought.

I would keep the lift and either install it with stock tires or keep it until you can afford the tires you want to go with it.
