mine has the mopar 2" coil lift with the bilstein shocks, i like it. so if that's the lift it has it should be good. you could put on a good lift cheaper, but if you like the dozer, half doors and the setup it has it's probably worth the extra cash.

They were originally asking $42,900 which was way too much. Basic model sport with no options. Sticker was around $31k. I've got them down to $34,862, $16k for my trade. 07 with 76k miles. Pretty good deal I think. KBB has my trade in value at around $15,800

You really need to drive it and then drive a stock '12, especially on the freeway or a higher rate of speed. If it's just looks you want, then OK. But if it's equally important that it handles well, you owe it to yourself to be well informed before you spend that much. One of the worst feelings is being psyched that you just bought an awesome looking Jeep and then get bumpsteer or death wobble from a poorly engineered/installed lift.

That dozer looks great, but my biggest worries are the gears and tailgate. Most dealerships don't upgrade them when installing 35's and will hang that heavy wheel and tire directly onto the gate. If I were to run that combo I'd want 4.10's with the new TF tire carrier!

Great looking Jeep and sounds like a good deal.
I would see if the dealer would let you drive it for a few days.
My dealer did. It will really give you a chance to run across
about any typical driving instance to make sure it really
performs as you like. But you did say you were 3 hours away,
so maybe not feasible. Just a thought, It really helped reassure
me with my purchase.
