Your right tire size and gear ratio change the stock mph shift point at TP% bumpers don't have an impact on shift points but does on weight... Besides that I am running TeraFlex front and mopar rear bumpers, 33's and 538's... But that really is irrelevant, I discovered through research that if you find someone that has improved the stock shift points to meet a set of goals, you can use their "percentage over stock mph" to change any similar year auto shift points regardless of gears or tire size! Essentially will get similar performance with your set up!
My goals were to:
Have 1,2,3 up shifts between 2k and 3k rpms, hold gear longer up all inclines , when needed to be able to downshift with less pedal pressure I.e. down shift at lower tp%, last to keep the trans at an appropriate gear for all speeds. As we know our auto's shift at awkward times and really lugs the motor at low speeds in higher gears... I really like my shift patterns, the jeep is a real driver again... Let me know if I can help.

I've PM'd JPop (the most prominent threader on this subject) and he responded quickly but has been radio silent for about a week. He helped me to get this far and now I'm ready to reprogram. Hope he is ok. He seems to be very knowledgeable about this stuff and I hope he is just enjoying some R&R.

I can email you the schedule JPop sent me. It helped a lot when I had stock gears but once I regeared I have been unsuccessful at getting a schedule to work. PM me if you want it.
