updating software on jailbroken ipad

[shortyife]

I have a jailbroken ipad 4, currently running IOS 6.1.2. i want to upgrade to the lastest software version, because i want to dl a few apps that are currently incompatible and i think the old software is causing the battery life to be shorter. I know that the only way to really do the upgrade is with itunes, but I am not sure if i try to do so with itunes if it will cause my ipad to brick as it is jailbroken? i am not particularly interested in keeping the jailbreak or having a new one done, i dont use the jailbrak part much. just want to upgrade. will it be something simple to do or do i run the risk of causing my ipad to brick?

To upgrade your iPad to the latest Apple-approved iOS, 7.1.1, connect to the latest version of iTunes, make a back-up and click on the "Restore" button. iTunes will do its magic and, when it's finished, you'll be on iOS 7.1.1 (unjailbroken/unjailbreakable).

If you accept iTunes's offer to restore from the back-up you made, your iPad will be just as it was with all your data and settings. Well, except it won't be jail broken.

That's really all there is to it. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
