    What's the cheapest way to re calibrate the speedometer? Does any dealerships do it? I hate to spend $230 on the Hypertect for a one time use.

    Buy an Ultragauge and calibrate the gauge to display proper speed. Then if you lift it your UG can be changed to accomodate tire size

    I agree with Archer. Your dash speedometer will still be off, but the ultragauge can be calibrated every time you make a change (Tires, gears, etc) and it won't cost you any extra, because you can calibrate it yourself!

    And you have access to all kinds of fun information on top of that. saves me at least a couple bucks on every fill up with the MPG information
