Spedo Calibration

Any thoughts on an inexpensive way to recalibrate my speedomitor now that I've installed larger tires? (295/75/16). It's an 04 model w/3.73 gears. It seemed to be off (low) by 2mph with the stock 265/75's. I have not had a chance to go by one of those "how fast are you driving" games the local's put by the road side to see what the difference is now.

What do you consider inexpensive?

The dealer may charge $35 or a Superlift unit runs $180+.

I was unaware that dealers could (would) do it. Anything under $100 these days is in-expensive - what other benefits does the Superlift unit give me - Is there a particular model #?
Thanks,
Jim

Cost me 60.00 for the dealer to do it. Basically 1 hr of shop time. After they had finnished they took it out on the hwy with a handheld gos and checked it. It was off 1 mph at 70. That was as close as they could get it. Took them about 30 minutes total.
