I am sorry to hear you are having issues with it off road and passing. I think the reason mine is working out for me is because I live in flat Texas and rarely hit the highway since my commute is 8 miles from my home. Off road I havent had any issues, it could be the speed in which you let out the clutch, then it stalls.

That's the problem with going to places like Moab... and seeing all the lifted jeeps. Plus what can i say, lifted jeeps look better.

I have just finished a bunch of mods to my jk which included 35" KM2s, Clayton lift and Superior 488 gears. It definately brought it to life! I have a 6 speed and on the highway it runs 2500 rpm at 100km per hr. (approx 62 mph). If I had an automatic I would recommend 513s due to more of an overdrive ratio in the auto. It is hard to explain how the gear change drives other than it just feels right. Go for it if you have the bucks and someone reputable to do the job.
