07-11 automatic with 35s or taller, you want 5.13s, or if you had a Rubicon, 5.38s. 4.88s are for 33s with 07-11 automatics.

07-11 six speed and 35s, you want 4.56s if your rug is light and you live in sea level flatlands, 4.88s if your rig is heavy or you live at higher elevations with hills and mountains, or 5.13s if you don't spend much time over 65 mph or both have a heavy rig and live at high elevation with mountains.

Since you live in Colorado Springs and have an 11 automatic 4dr JK, anything other than 5.38s would be a complete waste of money.

It just docent sound and feel good the shifting points.
However if driving it really slow the gears seem to have good shifting points.
When driving normally i can never get to 5th gear, i have to let go of the accelerator and then after pressing it again it will shift.
Anyone has experienced this?
I have ordered a ProCal from AEV to see if it makes a difference.
I'm also running Yukon (4:56) with 35's, auto trans, 2dr Rubi. Started out with AEV Procal then switched to the Superchips Flashpaq (beta). I've had no issues with shift points and love the way it drives.

I also have the flashpaq but i noticed it hunts for the right gear about 2% of the time i drive. Could be the shitbox 4 speed auto too. Just never noticed that with my procal
