6'3" here and that's why I didn't get a manual. Knee bumped the steering wheel while shifting. Turns out I like the auto, especially when wheeling. My buddies with MT seem to have more trouble with obstacles than I do. Seems frustrating. I know it's frustrating watching them.

Nope, I have a 2010 JKU and it does not recline at all....what year do you have that yours reclines ? Now you have me second guessing myself though and I have to run outside to try to recline my non-reclining seats.

Mine recline. 2008 jku. There is the little up/down seat height adjuster and then up a little higher and towards the rear there is a recline lever.

Def a new one... I have a 2010 and they recline and go up and down. Two standard handles. Don't have an issue bumping knees since the wheel is adjustable up or down, 6"2 and no complaints... I must be missing something.

6'6" here. Haven't seen anything for the jk. Yes it does need to come down as well. Prob I have is wife almost puts it all the way to the front to drive it. The trim shop I use for all my cars suggested I check the local places who make vehicles handicap accessible. I never seem to think about it when I have free time, but seems like a good idea.
