Did you regret your suspension lift?

I had a 4". Don't regret it because I would need bigger tires than my 34s to look good on a 6". And I wouldn't have been barred from many parking garages and car washes.
The funny thing is the longer I've had it, the smaller and more normal it looks. Until I park next to a stock truck.

Won't a 4" lift the only actually lift a 4WD truck 2"?
2 inches in the back and four in the front, where a 6 inch lift would actually lift the whole truck 4 inches overall
And essentially, doesn't the lift level the front-end as well? so when you say four or 6 inches it's really talking about the front and only? Rear suspension is lifted 2 inches less than the front.
At least this is my understanding, somebody tell me if I'm wrong...

I did 2'' coilovers in the front and a 2'' block in the rear and I couldn't be happier.
In the end I'm glad the guys doing the work talked me out of the 4-6'' lift ideas I had. Not that I don't like those trucks, just wouldn't have worked well for me and less long term wear on parts is nice.

I had a 6" lift on my 2010 and only a level on my 12 and two 14's.
I absolutely loved the 6" lift I had, no regrets at all. I may actually end up lifting the current one after the 3/36k warranty is gone, but most likely no more than a 4".

Now if you installed coilovers and got a 2 to 2.5" lift when you add the 4" lift to the front then your total lift up front will be 6 to 6.5" lift.
For example:
My truck now has FOX stage 1 kit. 2.25" lift up front 0 out back.
If i add a 4" lift, then the truck will go up 4" all around keeping my leveled look as well.
