I do, but I still have the stacks and don't regret it.

regrets:

cfm intake horn- looks cool, but not needed at all.
banks 6-gun pda- cool features, loved the pda, but severly underpowered and outrageously overpriced.

Nitto terra grapplers- good looking tire, works good in mud, rides good, but theyre wearing fast!!!

Only mod I regret was the Brite Box. It worked great for a while, but now the box has melted and the headlights do all kinds of funky things.
Biggest issue is cracking injector lines, and oil leaks. My engine has a lot more vibration in it now and this is becoming more of a problem, 2 so far. Also, front and rear main leak.

My FE is slipping now so I just should have gone straight to the DD as I'm not done yet modding.

I don't regret Southbend at all.

I have had Rhino Linings all 4 previous vehicles, with great results.

I am not sure what spray-in bedliner company I will use for my Ram.

For sure. Not buying a 150 pump when i bought a 95, and the high ram intake, and buying an K&N kit instead of doing the *****'s whistler first.

Oh i understand not regreting south bend, just saying you must be making all of that 1100 trq. to slip this sucker. Im putting it in now and the friction material on this thing looks scary. Looks like ground up metal, if your sliping it i bet your destroying the flywheel, hope not but it look very aggressive to me! Peter told me also this thing will hold much more than adv. so id say youve found a good tune up!
