Sure, you "could" do that. In fact, many members have leveling lifts and body lifts. However, most of us do not recommend anything beyond 2" of lift for the leveling kit. Even at 2", your suspension will get CV bind at full droop.

Does any body know about getting your computer set up for tire changes?

3 choices here:

  1. Leave it alone and the speedo will be off, how much will be determined by tire size.
  2. Dealer can adjust for tire size change.
  3. Use a programmer, such as Superchips 3865. This is what most of us have done, because it's just a bonus of using this awesome programmer.

Hypertech Makes a programmer that will work with our V6 engines, it offers a boost in HP and torque as well as a spedo recalibrator and various other tuning aspects.

same company as SuperChips..one of you 3.7L guys has to be the guinea pig on this programmer. The V6 is a good motor and I'm sure the extra power could make passengers believe you have eight cylinders under the hood!

That is correct. Superchips does not support the 3.7L....and their customer service is **** poor. Bonecollector is also correct, Hypertech makes the Max Energy that supports our lonely 3.7L. On the low tune, 24whp and 24 lb/ft of torque on the chassis dyno. The high tune is rated at 25whp and 25llb/ft. Thats quite a bit...considering the other V-6 hp and torque increases.

I have heard good things about the Hypertech Tuners. Correct me if I am wrong here but are'nt Hypertech and the tremendously popular Bully Dog tuners made by the same company?

I believe the Hypertech tuner for the V6 is # 52001.

But see this thread.
