What does adding a lift do to your warranty?

[fahqu]

Quick newbie question. What will putting a lift kit do to your warranty? Does it effect only the suspension portion of your of the warranty? Thanks

[ivanlopez]

Good question, who can comment about this?

The way I understand it only the part and the parts directly related to the part replaced are not covered. If you buy a quality part it usually has a warrenty of its own. If the dealer gives you crap call them on it!

Here is what I found:

No aftermarket part or accessory that is properly installed on your vehicle will entirely void your original vehicle manufacturers warranty. According to the provisions in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty - Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, It is the dealership's responsibility to prove that your modification directly caused or affected the failure you are trying to resolve. With that said, some dealerships are more performance-oriented than others and are more willing to work with customers.

Warranty-related materials, published by the new vehicle manufacturers, state that the installation of aftermarket parts have no effect on the warranty unless such equipment causes the problem that leads to the warranty claim. Nonetheless, some dealers have improperly denied warranty claims even though the claim had nothing to do with aftermarket parts. I.E., just because you install an exhaust system, your suspension failure warranty claim cannot be denied. If you experience a problem with an uncooperative dealership, point out the provisions of the this "FEDERAL ACT". For more information call your vehicle manufacturer or click on the link above to go directly to the Federal Trade Commission's website to find out more about this law.

No Problem, I've even heard of instances where people print out a copy of the Magnuson-Moss warranty act and put it in on the dash of their vehicle when they take it in for service, repairs, etc.

I had my dealership install my 6" Pro-Comp lift along with my 35" Pro-comp Tires and 20" rims. All my components are covered under Pro-Comp's warrenty and the dealership is backing me on the installation. In other words if I have any problems they will cover it for me.
