Mods That You Regret
This has probably been asked, but I did not find it in search.. What mods have you done & then regretted doing it? In my case, I spent over $400 for the Kicker soundstage setup in my `14 STX, & really did not think it was that much of an improvement over the stock system. So far on my `17 XLT, I haven`t had it long enough to do any mods to be sorry for.

Same. They worked flawlessly on my '06. But there was no way I could get the in-channels to work on my '16. Gave up and ended up tossing them as I couldn't return them. I don't like the stick on ones, so none it is. The low profile ones that have been mentioned look pretty nice, but I really hate stick-ons.

Roush exhaust. Nothing but over the top noise, and drone. I thought since Roush knows Mustangs so well, that it should work on my truck. I fell for the advertisements as well that said,"NO" drone. It was so bad, I called Roush and even stopped at the speed shop. The guy I talked to on the phone said they never had a complaint about drone. OK, must be my imagination.
Tried a few things to make it livable, but didn't happen. I now run a Borla.

BFGoodrich KO2. I do not recommend these tires on an aluminum body truck.
ON EDIT: I have run 17" BFG before on another truck without any issues. The higher profile (70 or 75) makes a huge difference. The 20" version is horrible in my opinion. I did a courtesy swap from Yokohama Geolandar G105 (Load E 285/55R20) back to BFG 275/60R20 (Load D). I though the higher profile and lower load rating would improve the ride. The Geolandar rode great except for a bed bounce on segmented pavement at highway speeds. I drive back and forth to the airport often. The BFG is horrible compared to the Geolandar. The sidewall is too stiff creating a harsh ride. I tow occasionally which was not fun on P rated tires. They had too much sidewall flex which prompted the switch to LT.
