Back into a JKU
Well after the better part of a year with no Jeep, I'm coming back. Trading in my '14 Ram, for a '14 JKU stick. Taking a bit of a bath but the deal works for me! Really was sick of the 3.8, very impressed with the 3.6. Kicking myself in the nuts for not holding on to my winch. Had the Rugged Ridge 8500, any comparable options at or below that price range? Also looking at the RC Hybrid Stubby...Alllllsoooo, had the TF 2.5 BB, thinking more about a proper spring lift. Thoughts?? Happy to be coming back, just wish I could have that 5.7 Hemi in my Jeep!!!

I am in the same boat. After running 2 JK's I switched to a Ram for a while (don't ask me why) Now I am trading my 2012 Dodge Ram with all the bells and whistles for a 2010 JK-8 CRD diesel (manual everything but looking forward to it)

I had a few different lifts on my first jk. Ended up with the teraflex 2.5 coil lift and ended up trading it in for a charger srt8. That lasted for about a year or so then went back to a jk. I went directly back to the teraflex 2.5 coil lift and havent looked back. The new one has the crawler conceptz bumper

Congratulations. I did the same thing. Had a 2011 JKU. Went to a Ram 2500. And now I'm back in a 6 speed 2015 JKUR. I love it. It's not the 6.7 Cummins I came from but a huge improvement from the 3.8.
