Just purchased 2016 Lariat. Would like to install a 2 inch leveling kit. Does this void any part of the warranty?

 

Only if something breaks down due to the aftermarket levelling kit. Which is highly unlikely!

 

My Extended warranty was going to not cover a repair on my truck because the shop indicated on the invoice "recalibrate speedo for larger tires". That was supposed to be my copy of the invoice.

The shop ended up taking my wheels and tire off and putting stock ones on while it was on the lift with full suspension sag.. The warranty company requested pictures of the truck before claim would be paid.

Luckily these guys are good friends and did it without hesitation.

 

Nop... these lift kits are only metal spacers (and a block in the rear between your axle and your leafs).

Parts will not be covered under warranty if the failure is caused by the lift itself, which is unlikely...

However, please note that lifting your truck will add additional stress on the suspension components, which can cause premature wear.

 

The only thing a leveling kit would void is that part of the suspension. If your tie rid ends, or ball joints prematurely wear out, they wouldn't cover those parts. They would say that the damage was due to stress caused by the leveling kit. They have to prove your mods cause the problem. If you live in the US that is.

 

^^ Same thing up here, in Moose Country.

 

Ask your dealer. Some dealers would try to void your warranty for any reason at all.

 

I just purchased a 2018 Screw 4x4 XLT the other day. While signing papers including extended warranty the finance gal was very specific that a lift kit would void the warranty. While I didn’t ask about spacers I did mention shocks that raise the truck would not be considered a lift kit. She agreed at that specific point.

 

They could deny any front suspension problems you try to claim.. like IWE issues, upper and lower ball joints tie rod ends...cv shaft.. etc

 

Right. There is no "voiding of the warranty". Never happens. There IS denying of claims if they believe that changes you made caused the failure.
