I did the Teraflex full suspension lift and superchip at the same time.... $4000... Ouch... But I love it!!
Disagree. An auto + 35" tires = shift points and speedo out of whack. Torque converter will lock/unlock constantly, which will suck gas BTW.

My Jeep was much more drivable after tuning with a Superchips. And I have an auto w/ 35" tires.

He has a Rubi, most likely with 4:10's

I've been driving mine with an auto, 4:10's, KM2 35's and a long arm It's definitely a gutless wonder, but it wasn't a rocket ship before the upgrades either.
I will eventually chip mine to fix the speedo, TPMS and hopefully gain a few MPG

As mentioned previously, apples to footballs... My vote, get the chip 1st cuz of it's affordability

Your right It's a auto with 4:10 gears

I live about 10hrs from Moab. I went down 2 times last year, and plan on going down 1-2 times this year along with doing some wheeling in CO, and CA.

Last year with stock tires and a 2.5in Teraflex budget boost I ran Poison Spider, Hell's Revenge, The Moab Rim, and Dome Plateau. I want to hit a few new ones this year.

They have a website...


It's roughly the same price as a Flashpaq, and does nothing but increase the throttle response. Lots of very favorable reviews on it, but for my money, a programmer/tuner comes first. (you need to program in the new gears/tires, turn off that annoying tpms, ect)

If you’re just looking to recalibrate for gears tires, the Procal is way cheaper.
