Yep, that 8AT is a great match for this vehicle! Lightning quick shifts and is always in the right rpm range for the situation, love it!One word of caution with the 6 speed. We had one so I feel i can give some insight...with the sport gearing and rubicon wheels coupled with the manual transmission, you will loose some performance. i would seriously consider the auto, it’s an incredible transmission and makes these so much fun to drive. They can compensate better for the larger tires. I know they add to the cost, but you’ll recoup it when you sell down the road. I was beat up on the trade because mine was a manual. I was just leary from the JK auto and would rather have the simplicity.
for the rubicon take offs, they just bolt up. No big deal. For the full on sporticon, it’s coils and shocks, rock rails and rear tire carrier. No alignment is needed at all.
