Default 2011 for 2012

Have a 2011 sport with a RK stock mod lift running 35 Nitto M/T with TF 9550 shocks... I'm looking at paying only 50 more a mth for the 2012 rubi... An thats after taking my lift wheels an tires off my 11 an returning it stock... I also welded C gussets an reinforced the front axel... I have 3.21 in mine now... Now here's my question????

Would It be worth getting the 2012 or keep what I have keep in mind I have my lift wheels an tires to put on the new jeep an also would my lift work on the 2012 without any problem

Thanks guys I'll be waiting for the opinions

I would do it since you're gaining lockers, better motor, etc. I have heard that there are issues with lifts, but I don't recall what it was...

If you don't mind doing all that work again, I'd say DO IT!

DO IT!!. I would for that price jump. not only do you get lockers but a much better engine. the only thing you have to get is the exhaust spacer. its has been talked a lot in this forum that once you gain a lift, your axle will hit the exhaust pipe. other than that, your RK will fit 2012. Am too, thinking about trading my 2010 Rubi for 2012. good luck.

Cool

I would and did. I traded my 2 door 08 Rubi for a 4 door 2012 Rubi and I lowered my payment by 100 dollars a month. No brainer for me. I love the new engine and added space of the unlimited.
