Centerforce dual friction clutch

I have no experience with the centerforce dual friction, but if you're shopping around for a clutch right now the only input I can add... I just put an ACT HD/Performance in mine prior to installing my supercharger, and I've been very happy with it. Clutch pedal maybe feels a little heavier than before, but engagement and shifting is very smooth. It's also an SFI approved clutch, which granted might not mean a whole lot in a Jeep, but it at least tells you its tough and should be able to handle anything a jeep could ever throw at it.
Centerforce does make a high quality clutch though - hopefully someone with some actual experience with the DF can chime in.

I have no personal experience, but I recall reading on a forum the other day that the one downside to the CF clutch is if you off road and crawl a lot. As I understood the post, the pressure of engagement increases at higher RPM, but obviously when crawling you are running low RPM.
No idea if that is the case or if it matters once in gear (I don't generally shift gears mid rock!). Maybe something to look into.

I put one in the wives jku at 130,000 miles. She says it is smoother and engages easier. She gained about 1 mpg with it as well, I thought it may have been a different fuel blend but have about 15,000 miles on it and she is still getting the better mileage. Its a sahara 3.8 with 4.10 gears and factory wheels. Getting right around 23 mpg.
