which dealer did you go to? and did you have a downpayment or trade in? if its $17k ill go buy 1 tomorrow..as far as that jeep goes..if it has a d44 rear..i would build that up with bigger gears, locker, and chromo axle shafts..then you can either try to beef up your front axle or swap in a d44 front..just make sure none of this will void that warranty ...with the new jeeps you can do smaller lifts for bigger tires..you can do 2" lifts and 35s..4" lifts and 37s.thats squeezing it a little but still fits and flexes..from what im told, anything bigger than 4" lift, you got to extend both front and rear drive shafts..
