Default Programmer / tuner suggestions for 2016?

Hi everyone and ty in advanced for the help. I bought a 2016 jk unlimited sport... did a 3.25" lift, added a drop arm, and steering stabilizer. I'm ready to put on my 35s but I'm kinda waiting for a tuner because I don't want to mess up my speedo/odo. My question is: what's my best bet to fix this problem? I've seen some going for aev procal and some going for superchips traildash 2 but seems there may be compatibility issues with the traildash and the newer jeeps. Also, I want to make sure I use something that will keep the odometer true. Is this issue fixed with the aev procal? If not, what should I be looking for? Also, with a 3.25 lift would you guys suggest adding a Sye or no?

Default Run what you want

I like the ease and simplicity of the AEV Pro-cal. Some people prefer the readouts and the screens and all the fancy stuff. I say get what you want if you don't like it you can always try to sell it.

You are referring to an exhaust spacer and/or a thinner aftermarket driveshaft?

I haven't been following what tuners work with the 2016's. There was something about having to actually replace the ECM to get them to work?

So the AEV procal will work with the 2016? And it will correct the speedometer and odometer issue? If so im sold on it lol.

Yes AEV Procal will work for 2016 but you have to get the one that was released 2/18/2016 part number 30406007AG

Thats what it says on the AEV website.

Just got my Procal delivered the other day and used it to calibrate 35s on my 2016 Rubi Hardrock.Super easy install and I also disabled the TPMS sensors as the ones installed were for the 2012 Sport I got rid of.
Now I'm stuck with the Diablosport Intune I had for my 2012 as it is not compatible with the 2016 system.

Do you plan on any engine modifications? If so, I"d recommend either a diablosport or an SCT tuner, so that you can have custom tunes written for the vehicle.

I'm running a pro cal on my 15 and love it so far. I compared the speedo and odometer with a gps and it's accurate. I didn't want to clutter the tiny windshield with anything so I decided to try the pro cal. So far so good
