I just like to keep it simple, with factory tank, factory fuel pump, and factory tank level indicators. You don't have to worry about issues from an aftermarket tank that leaves a person stranded.
I'm not most people but I am one of the few who have a GenRight tank installed. I have found it to be very reliable. It also fits your selected criteria of being simple to use in conjunction with the factory tank, it uses the factory fuel pump, and it also works with the factory fuel gauge. I'm at a loss to understand what you mean by "Most people having problems with the Gen Right."

Been reading that there has been many issues with loss of transfer between the stock tank and Gen Right it reverts back to stock tank correct?!
I just think if I can put a factory tank in myself for $750.00 or less it would make me more than happy.

OK, I understand. GenRight's prototype tank had a problem with the fuel return line transferring fuel between the 2 tanks. That problem was fixed months ago when they installed check valves and a pressure regulator to prevent the inadvertent transfer of fuel. In the event of an electrical failure GenRights tank is designed to revert back to the factory tank. I consider that a good thing.

I too looked into other alternatives, but there are allot of issues when dealing with fuel on a modern vehicle. You have fill lines, vent lines, fuel pump, fuel gauge, return lines, fuel pressure issues, evap canister, electrical control systems and some other things I can't remember. In the end I went with GenRight.

but a stock unlimited tank would be great if it was just a tad longer or something. All the internal guts would go right in and you'd have a bigger tank. I gotta find one this week and do some measurements because Im just curious

I think you'll find that the 4 dr tank is too long. When I looked at it for my 07, the longer tank interferred with the rear axle housing.
