Both if you could swing it. But as much as a HUGE fan of 4.56 gears that I am, I'd have to say get the programmer first. Especially now that the Superchips Flashpaq 3815 supports 5.9s. Check their website, they are showing very nice HP & Torque gains on the 5.9 plus the advanced timing will really help your mileage.

Yeppir, you need some gears. Those big ol' tires have whacked your final drive ratio.
