It's impossible to tell unless you can find info on it. You can google compatible superchargers for your jeep. For what it entails, I'd not get any charger unless it was specific for my jeep....

Yep. I also dont see any way to route the air intake as well. Stick with the big 3. If you can swing the extra cash get the ripp intercooled kit, sprintex with the new cooler or AEV.

Just see if your vehicle is listed. Didn't work with my 09.

That's also a problem, these sites (Amazon, eBay etc.), will list your vehicle on there knowing damn well it's not compatible. I was looking at skid plates on EBay today and the same plate stock number and all, was listed as compatible on one and not compatible on the other.... Some things you HAVE to go through a reputable vendor and still do your homework...

Other sites list that supercharger as compatible with chevy smallblocks.


Here's a Sprintex for 2500, might be a better choice than the amazon one.

Innovate Motorsports Jeep JK Supercharger system

Still haven't seen a release date or pricing on the intercooler, but there is a current multi-page thread going for more info.

It's a blower, not a kit. The value add of companies such as RIPP is that they engineer a kit and computer program.

Also, it uses a carburetor and not fuel injection. If you make it work though, you can have a wicked looking scoop sticking out of your hood!

I know the idea behind getting a good deal, but when most compatible systems are twice as much as these, if they work, that bothers me a lot... Either ripp is a true rip off, these companies are selling products of lower quality, or some combination of the two...
