lift kits, larger tyres, and speedometer accuracy

[christopheru]

Am I correct that should I lift my badlands and (after my current AT tyres wear out) put bigger tyres on, that I could go into the OBD port and tell the vehicle the new tyre size? There doesn't seem to be a way to do it through the menu selection like there was in my VW (it had a summer tyre vs winter tyre option in case they were different). I want my odo and speedometer to read true.

Yes if you search Forscan there is a code already figured out.
You would need the Forscan tool which is only $50ish and the license which is the same I believe but the control opens a lot of features buried in code apparently. It sounded a bit technical but doable

Depending on the size tires you choose, example 245/65R/17, the speedo inaccuracy is negligible, 1 to 2 mph. If you could put on 33-35 inch diameter tires, then I would think about making a software update. YMMV.

Currently, I only know one company that makes a lift kit for Badlands and 1st Edition models. Woolworth Motorsports has a 1 1/4 inch lift.
