Seriously? Why would you need a poll for this. It's $300 vs $3000. If you can afford the long arm, just get both and go enjoy...

Comparing these too is like comparing apples and footballs. Not even in the same ball park.

I voted Superchips: correcting speedo and shiftpoints are important. He already has a lift; spend that $3K on other stuff to prepare the Jeep for the 4" lift at some other time.

Maybe I should have asked the question this way. I have $350 left after getting Wheels and tires. Should I use that money to get a Superchip or use it to start saving up for a 4in longarm?

In those circumstances, the Flashpaq makes a ton of sense. The longarm, pretty much none...

Start saving for the lift.... Superchip doesn't make a whole lot of difference with your set up..... After your big lift you'll be sick of the gas mileage lol ....you'll be wanting that superchip fast and actually feel like you got some gas milage back. I did the Teraflex full suspension lift and superchip at the same time.... $4000... Ouch... But I love it!!
