not too bad. They regear it for you, or are you lucky enough to have a manual tranny?

To answer the question. They reprogrammed the computer and the transmission to get the rpm's right and the speedometer. As far as re gearing no. He said not to or it will void my warranty. No thanks. I think it runs good now. Plenty of pick up for my liking.

it will void your warranty???? what part? Never heard a jeep dealership say it's a bad thing........well then they aren't the smartest ones on the block either.

Regearing is typically a logical step for those that go to bigger tires when a lift is added. Bringing the power, MPG(dependant), and speedo back to closer to stock specs. From what I understand autos have a more noticeable impact as compared to manuals. It's not a cheap or easy upgrade.

Very nice. I love the color. Wish they had it in 2008. I glad to see some shiney wheels with white letter tires. Everyone seems to like the black wheels with blackwall tires.
