I did the RE 2.5 and ran with the stock rubicon wheels for 6 months. Just put on new wheels and tires and it is like a new jeep. 315/70/17 Cooper MTPs and 17x9 Fuel Beast. The tires raised mine another 1 - 1 1/2 inches.

I believe it depends on which one you get. Mine did not. It changes the shifting points.

Well... Not as much room as I'd like. Probably will trim the fenders or go with some flat Bushwackers.

Chuck-the-ripper has a set of bushwackers for a good price. I'm picking mine up locally and spraying them to match the body.

I just realized you still have full stock fenders. As soon as those are flat, I think you will be good to go!

Procal and Flashcal are programmers, they just change settings and stuff.

Flashpaq, Traildash, inTune, etc are tuners. these do the things that programmers do, as well as add a little bit of hp/torque. (how much the tunes help is debatable.)

One option to consider might a flashcal programmer, which can then be updated to a Flashpaq if/when you decide that you want to try some tunes. (they occasionally run a half-off upgrade special that puts the price quite a bit lower than just buying a flashpaq...)

Did you really ask if adding bigger tires would raise the jeep? Lol
