What year is your Jeep? 2007 - 2010 you have a wide variety. 2011, not so much.
Do a search for Programmers and a million threads will come up. Superchips has been the most popular here but there are a lot of others like Hypertec, Bully Dog, Diablo, etc...
If you are looking for eco tunes, I know Hypertech and Superchips both have them. I ran both programmers with my 2010 and I returned the Hypertech mainly due to lack of features at that time (most which are now available). I currently use a Superchips.
As for power, you may feel a bit of "butt dyno" using one but not significant like adding a supercharger or hemi. I've played with all the tunes, (eco, 87, 91, 93, tow) and there is a difference among them. Not huge but noticeable.
Frankly, the eco tunes are horrible. Yes, I saw a slight improvement in mpg using the gas saver but I felt like I was starting in 2nd gear all the time! I run the tow tune which seems to give me the best power/mpg combo.

Well I have an 08 with a 4" lift and 35"s I get 170 miles out of a full tank of gas so any mpg gain will be a big help but I would mostly run it on performance I have a dynomax SS muffler and cold air intake and I have done the viper throttle body mod
Which one is best for my set up

I got a superchip and noticed a lot of difference. Think it was money well spent just wish I would of fine it long time ago. I have had for about 2 yrs now. Still like it
