What does Trail Rated add to a 2006 Sport?
'Sport' is the label when it's not a Limited or Renegade. It's not an upgrade; it's the default. Options (like V6, auto trans, etc.) were available on the Sport.- u2slow

Control arms lift kit
It's not consistent. I put 2.5" lift on at first and needed upper arms immediately. There wasn't enough adjustment for alignment. Wore a pair of new front tires crooked before the arms showed up.- u2slow

4.10 Re-gearing - 2025
Sign of the times. Shop are not in business to be well-read on every vehicle. Price it at a CYA level, and get on with the more predictable work for other customers. Edit: they want/need their parts markup to make ends meet.- u2slow

IFS diffs vary quite a bit in their construction. Some can be very finicky to setup right, so shops either shoot high, or try to not take the job. (Chevy ones come to mind because they split in half.) Our Liberty ones are really straightforward IMHO.- u2slow

Amazon had the Yukon super 30 4.10 gears still in January, at decent prices. That appears to have dried up.- u2slow

What does Trail Rated add to a 2006 Sport?
A locking axle in a 2wd does pretty good. I did that with my dodge pickup so it doesn't get stuck doing basic chores.- u2slow

I thought the badge appeared on ALL of them, but I haven't seen a 2wd to verify.- u2slow

As long as you stay in 2wd, it won't matter what the ratios are. I had the diff out for a whole summer, and had a 2wd-only KJ for the duration.- u2slow

Shock Recommendations
I'm not familiar with your choice in shocks. Shocks shouldn't make any rattling noises, providing the bolt fits the eye, and there's no lateral gap between eyelet and mount.- u2slow

Consider saving the shop a step and take the front diff out yourself. If they are unfamiliar with the KJ, the loose part on the bench will show it's a fairly simple unit.- u2slow

How rare or desirable are the 5-speeds?
Maybe 5-10% of them were manual back when we were shopping for 02-07 KJs in 2012. Seems like anything with a manual trans is more desirable in the used market. If there's no odd noises and shifts all the gears, usually good life left; vs an auto, where they often just quit.- u2slow

What brand clutch kit to use?
Yes pilot bearing. Get the version with the whole outer 'puck' included. It's easier to install without damage. I went with an AMS automotive clutch the first time, and M-pact the second. The original nor AMS ever wore out. I had transmission problems and it just seemed foolish to re&re without...- u2slow

Newbie Libby Owner…REALLY need alot of help pls
You may want to check the practicality and cost of swapping that AC clutch. I ended up buying the whole compressor - it was cheaper than the clutch alone.- u2slow

4.10 gear finally Installed
Having a spare diff is ideal. You can also take the front diff our for several weeks/months and be 2wd-only in the meantime. BTDT.- u2slow

Newbie Libby Owner…REALLY need alot of help pls
Imho, nothing has changed. "Counterfeit" is just trendy to say now. I lost faith in the aftermarket parts world some 30 years ago. There's 40 brands marketing maybe 5 mfr's parts (or similar horrible ratio). Pricing is all over the place. Warranty often means paying more for the same low...- u2slow

Everything in the jobber parts market is a copy of OEM. Why 'counterfeit' is a such a concern for many, I don't know. I buy some of the cheapest parts. It's rare that I get a disappointing lifespan.- u2slow
