The 3.8 manual is capable enough, but for a few extra dollars the 3.6 has an extra 50kW.

When I bought my 2010 JKU, I was looking at a manual.
When availability become a factor, I made a last minute decision to grab the available auto.
I consider that to be one of my rare lucky days as I wasn't aware of the diff ratios either.
It's another issue when it comes to fitting a locker or changing ratios on the D30 3.21 as well.
