Upgrading my Gladiator Sport by adding Rubicon take-off's springs and shocks along with 35" tires on 17" wheels with a 3.73 rear end. Yes MPG goes down (none of us on here buy any kind of Jeep for the MPG anyway), and the heavy tires will be tough on the 3.73, but I had same setup on JK with no issues over 7 years and I did not reprogram the JK.
My question is it it worth it to either a.) buy a programmer/tuner so I can reprogram the speedometer myself (and do any other tune mods), or b.) have the dealer or a shop do it since it is cheaper than the programmer, or c.) leave it alone? I hear the Transmission is adaptive so it will learn better shift points as I drive but will take awhile (or I can pull the fuse to reset it so it learns faster).
Has anyone else done any of the three options (I am sure I will get mostly c.)? Please share your experiences/opinion...
