Napa actually sells OEM Jeep clutchs?
Dealer quoted me $595 (tax in) for a new clutch & pressure plate, release bearing, pilot bearing, lever, ball and spring.

I'd stay away from Centerforce clutches(stage1,2,3) if you go the aftermarket route. Brutal in day to day driving. Your left leg will thank me.

I've logged a ton of km's on LUK brand and Sachs brand clutches in my manual equipped vehicles over the years without any trouble, and the price was reasonable for my Jeeps.

I think I paid just under $300 from poon source for my clutch kit for the 2.5L.

The 6.0L has a LuK kit ready to go in.
