The bad part about it I can do all the work my self in a couple hours.
Plus save my self lots of money doing it my self.

But they say if I do it will Void the warranty.

I asked already.

It will only void the warranty on parts that may be affected by the lift kit and they have the burden of proving that the problem was directly caused by the aftermarket part

I like to that in writing before I do anything to this truck.

I been though that nightmare once before I purchased the truck and when it broke they didn't want top fix it there reason it had over size tires and a lift kit on it but I purchased the truck from the dealer that way.

The lift kit had nothing to do with the motor going bad.

I get your reluctance in this but there are laws against that. http://www.impalaclub.com/naisso/magmoss.htm
Read that article. I just read the first paragraph but it told me what you need to know. The prices on those kits he prices you are outrageous. A leveling kit should really cost no more than 100, 200 at the most and 50 to 100 to have someone put it on but you should be able to do it yourself. If they try to tell you youre voiding your warranty then I'd get a lawyer involved. From what little I know, if they can't prove without a doubt in this world that your modifications were the sole direct cause of the problem, your warranty should stay intact

Truth they may want to play hard ball though and we all know they will have more resources to bury the owner in legal fees etc.

I was thinking one of my coworks I think knows the owners of the local delership I see if she can pull some strings for me.

This is what I come up with at least for me having the dealership install there lift kits to much money I can’t see it.
If the dealership puts there lift kit on it only warranties it for 12 months bad deal plus the cost of the doing the work.
I paid for the lifetime warranty so I don’t have to screw with the truck myself down the road so why put the lift kit on if the dealership only going to put a 12 month warranty on their lift kit.
Putting my own lift kit on yes I know how and can for much less out of pocket money yes the lift kit will not be under warranty they say the lift kit more or less will not affect the rest of the Lifetime Chrysler warranty I don’t want to chance it with my luck.
Other have said a lift kit can cause vibration it’s a gamble been down that road before myself don’t want go down that road again.
So for me I going to leave the Truck stock and don’t have to worry about it so if or when the truck ever breaks just and them the keys and tell them fix it.

doing any modification is a gamble if your concern is warranty coverage. For you peace of mind, keeping your truck stock is probably the best thing
