Warranty

[Warren5]

Would lifting my truck void my warranty for my truck? I've gotten mixed answers from the dealerships and have heard that there are ways to not void.

This is such a broad question. Void the warranty for what?

Any warranty dealing with my engine and transmission

If the mod is the reason for the issue, then warranty will not cover it. They have to prove your mod caused the issue.

No it won't void your engine warranty.

It will void your suspension warranty though. Most lift kits come with their own suspension warranty for your vehicle, if you're worries about it just make sure you buy one of those kits. Zone is pretty good, as is BDS.

One way to avoid the warranty issue is to have a dealer install the MOPAR accessory lift kit for your truck.

Warranty is void on any part you have replaced with an aftermarket or non-OEM part. Also, if that part fails and causes damage to an OEM part, the warranty won't be honored for the OEM part.

Exactly what Maddog said... The only issue there is the major labor cost of having the dealership install it. Pros and cons.... If you want to make sure your factory warranty isn't voided, then go the direction of having the dealership install. If you're just worried about powertrain, then I'd just install it myself or have someone you know do it. Just my .02.

I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with 20" factory rims. With my dealers ok, I went to same size Tire but in an LT 10 ply, instead of the P 4 ply. Which requires a leveling kit. Even though it was done by the dealer, I have developed a transfer case issue, which Ram is blaming the tire size. The transmission doesn't down shift in 4-high, and 4-high only. As I have learned the hard way, you CAN'T change from the P rated 4 ply original size tires. According to Ram, that size is the only size within their "programmable limits" for this truck. I live in the country and can't even drive down the pea-gravel driveway without getting a flat with a 4 ply tire.
Was also informed by Ram, with the new electronic controls, if you put a tire, different from the original or out of their "programmable limits", you WILL have drive train issues, and Ram will Not stand by the warranty. I have brought up the issue of payload and towing advertised is beyond the tires capabilities, to no avail...

It's been a while since I looked at the cost of a mopar lift, but I think it was around $4500, and I can only imagine a dealership would charge around $1800 to install. $6300!
Or you could buy superlift kit yourself for $1300 (same as mopar) and get it installed for around $800. $2100!
With the savings of $4200, even if they don't cover an issue, you could pay for it and still be on top, imo.
