Honestly for JK i personally dont like the 07-11s at all. The 12+ Interior and motor and everything feel so much better. Early 12s may have head problems. They fixed that issue soon though. So late 12s and on are good. Personally i would just buy a new one if she can.
They do ride really nice.

And thanks for the info

Then I would go with a 13 then. I do not believe there is any difference between the 13s and 14s

Got it. I'm not against a new one if we find a deal on a leftover new '13/14, but used is the biggest probability due to price. I appreciate the help. Same goes for my little buddy

Don't blame ya one bit. And if she can drive a stick. Get a stick. They got a much better feel to them then the autos. Though the hill assist bothers me.

Who knows...got a new one now...no biggie
So...I asked this in the lift and tire thread.......you guys think the Clayton long arm kits are worth the $2300 they charge? I'm looking at the 6.5 with Bilsteins, and SYE, and Toms Woods DS and I think the JCR 1 ton OTK steering kit...wanna put it on 33's
Anyone wanna take a guess at what gears might be in it...It's a 97 sport, 5spd, 8.25 rear (no ABS)

Only thing I would change is the steering kit. If coin is no issue go ORO uturn with PSC Hydro Assist. If you want to dial it back IRO crossover or Currie Lync, either will give you better feel than inverted T OTK/UTK setups. Just my 2c
Regearing to 4.10 is the next item you should consider.

Clayton stuff is nice. I'm converting mine to a 3 link from radius arms. Just not using Clayton's 3 link conversion stuff.

And yea I'm not sure if Im just gonna eat the cost and buy a set of D44 axle assemblies from ECGS or build out the ones in it.....I only save about $1500 building them out over buying turn key axles, but if I build them out I still only have a d30 and 8.25" instead of D44's
