I have a 2015 ram with a 7 inch lift 18,000 miles on the truck just got home from a road trip pulled into my driveway and had complete brake failure got out looked under the truck brake fluid all over the ground looks like an explosion under the truck. Not sure if this is covered by warranty thinking I'm going to have to take the lift off before I take it back to the dealer anybody had this happen or no if this would be a warranty voiding issue to take the truck in with a lift over a brake failure

It could just be a hose running to the caliper, you could have damaged the hose(s) by overextending them with the lift. If it's the hoses you can upgrade them to braided lines long enough for the lift from KLM Performance. If it's any other parts then I wouldn't hold out for a warranty repair.

Hi Joelayout,

Warranty repair may be declined if the issue you're experiencing can be directly linked to the installation of the lift kit.

Your lift is going to be blamed regardless.

Problem solved CST provided brake lines with the lift and the brake lines were apparently cheap
Upgraded to braided Carbon fiber brake lines problem fixed
