Supercharger with 35+ size tires?

Does anyone run a supercharger Roush or otherwise with 35+ size tires? If so has it caused any problems? Any suggestions if I do decide to go that router? I'm picking up a 2008 Screw FX4 here in a couple weeks and was thinking about the supercharger although I haven't seen many lifted trucks with them installed.

A fe wguys should chime in...Bigtruck just did it to his.

Tires don't really pose any additional problems, though IMHO you should re-gear (4.56 or 4.88) to help your tranny out, if you haven't already done so.

In fact, if you are running stock 3.55 or 3.73 gears, and are wanting a blower because your truck feels sluggish, I'd re-gear first. You'll uncover a lot of the power that those 35's took away.

I plan on re-gearing anyway but also want to add the supercharger.

Marc - Please keep me posted when you get it installed.

tire size doesnt really come into play with the supercharger, the larger tires will take alittle more HP and TQ that you put to the ground due to the wieght but that is about it.

bigtruck311,

Did you do anything to your engine before the swap? Or is it still stock?
