Fine so far(Only 500 or so miles on it.) I did install an AFE Y-Pipe so the driveshaft doesn't sit on the exhaust when extended. I will eventually replace the front shaft, but may wait until the stock one gives out.

Couple of questions.
2014 2D JKR (automatic) will arrive in a few weeks. I was going to go with a RK 2.5 Max Travel but now I'm seriously considering the 2.5 Metal Cloak Duroflex and Bilstein 5100. It just looks like a better product all the way around. I plan on running Goodyear Kevlar 35's on ProComp 17's.
This will be my daily driver and will get wheeled in the N. GA mountains, mainly on trails. It won't be bouncing off any rocks.
Questions:
Front drive shaft - what will I need?
3.6L/Automatic, 4.10 gears, and 35" tires - How will the power be?
What else am I missing?
My complete build list so far:
Metal Cloak 2.5" Duroflex Lift
Bilstein 5100 Shocks
Wheels - ProComp 7069
Gorilla Splined Lug Nuts
Tires - Goodyear MT Kevlar
AEV ProCal
Front Bumper JCR Dagger
Front Bumper Skid - JCR
Rear Bumper w/Tire Carrier ACE
Rock Rails ACE
Flat Fenders Wide*ACE
Synergy Jeep D30/D44 Front Axle Assurance Kit
Tuffy Conceal Carry Drawer
Tuffy Security Console Insert
Tuffy Security Tailgate Enclosure
Spider Web Shade JKini
CB & Antenna
Drake Offroad Fire Ext Mount and Clamps
Trail Cover
Winch - Warn M8000
SPOD
KC Slimlites - Long Range

Nice build. Very close to mine except I have 3.5" and six paks. Dagger front stubby with stinger, ace pro series rear. You will love the metal cloak kit. Fortec is close to you and they are a dealer.

Thanks Matt.
Yep, Fortec is about 3 blocks from my house, but I'll probably order online to avoid 7% sales tax. I normally use Marcus at River City Offroad if he can get a better deal than I can get on my own.
