superlift true speed?
Does anyone out there have it? If so does it work? How hard was it to hook up? Was it worth the money? I currently run 315's on 16 inch wheels, but want to go to 16.5's and a larger tire some day. I would like to be able to change the speedo to match the tires i'm running. I'm pretty sure that i'm getting one, but i'd like someone else's opinion.
Thanks

Yep, picked it up 2 weeks ago. Yep, works great, especially if you can calibrate it with a GPS receiver that displays groundspeed. Kind of a pain to adjust with superlift's "tool" but a jeweler's screwdriver makes it cake.
Hookup is 4 wires. 1 to ground, 1 to the hot side of a fuse in your panel (taps are included) and 2 to "intercept" the vehicle speed sensor signals and tweak 'em to your liking. Takes maybe an hour or so all told.
$150 for a properly working speedo and accurate mileage recording? Worth every penny.
Leaving his mark everywhere he goes....

Works great but it was a real pain in the butt to calibrate. I had to tailgate my girlfreind for awhile. After she got sick of it i got my dad to help and then we got it. The hardest part other then calibrating was to get to the speed sensor wire. I had to pull the air filter, vacume canister and some other bracket, but it still only took about an hour or two.
