Hi,
So I have a JLU Sport S, I have lifted it with the MOPAR kit and put 285/70/R17 BFG A/Ts on. Changed the tire size to 33" as I read in other threads. The speedometer is a little off, but what bothers me more is that on the highway I barely get into the 8th gear. Riding at solid 70-75 mph on a flat highway road, still in 7th at like 2200rpm. If I shift it manually to 8th, it goes back to 1900 rpm, my mileage immediately improves accordingly.
If I wan't to correct the speed I know I have to adjust the tire size to the actual 32,7", but what else do I need to change?
thanks!
