A manual costs about 1000 less than an auto. It gets about 1 mpg better gas mileage. Your truck can be push started if you have any battery or starter issues ( like if you are alone at Arrastre Spring) It is real cool to have 6 forward speeds in low range for steep hills. It most likley won't need rebuilding ever !! Just a few things to consider. Also the lift takes about 3 hours to install with relatively simple tools.
