you never really know what issues you'll run into when you're supercharging an engine. plus there's always the possibility of blowing the engine on the stock internals. a full build, from the bottom end up will cost you thousands w/ forged internals. the stock transmission can only hold up to so much abuse as well, before it will have to be rebuilt w/ stronger components.

whereas with a lift kit, you buy the kit, wheels, tires, and you're done. if you're not going to install it yourself, factor in another $500 or so for install.

don't forget gears if you're going 35s or bigger.

you can get by on 35's w/ the stock 3.73's, tons of members have done so. however, going bigger than a 35'' tire, i agree that regearing is required.

Oh! Don't forget the alignment.

Do both! Lift it. Then build it for power. Why can't you have a supercharger & lift?

isnt both kinda performancy... lol.. a lift will give you more performance on off road terrain and a SC would give you performance on the road and off.. i'd say both since it seems you can afford it

go for the supercharger and leveling kit then if you get stuck you can upgrade tires and add more lift later

Smart choice! I like to go fast too but the top feels so much better than the bottom.
