Yes, get the ProCal. I have used it on my 2012 JKU Rubicon with 35" tires and it works like a charm. I will use it again to readjust tire size when I put on 37" tires.
When the computer has the correct tire size information, it will adjust the speedometer and indirectly adjust the transmission shift points because the speedometer will be accurate again. If the speedometer is off because the tire size is wrong, the transmission will shift at the wrong time. You could also have problems with the computer nanny engaging and causing some weird driving experiences because the axles will be spinning at a different rate than what the computer expects if the tire size isn't adusted.
