I'm honestly looking for something that bolts right up and doesn't kill my wallet

 

Then it has to come out of a JK. Any year will bolt up, but with a newer one you'll have a chance at matching gears. They are out there, you just have to search around, and when you find one, be ready to drop the cash. If you get lucky, you might find one that has already been strengthened. Be sure to double check the straightness of the housing.
