Will adding lift void warranty?

Just like the title asks, will adding a lift kit to the front of the truck void the warranty?

nooooo!!!!!! but they can link it to your lift say blown steering pump, they can say it's because of your 37" mt tires but really they don't care.. Dealers do lifts under warranty most of the time anyways just pricey. LIFT IT!!

No is the short answer.
They would have to prove that lift caused whatever component to fail.

I think this was covered in another thread and they were mentioning the Magnuson Moss act which talks about how dealers can not void your warranty if they can't prove that your mod actually caused the problem.

Talk to your dealer, if you let them install, odds are strong that no they will not void you. If your dealer is a good one and you just go in up front they shouldn't void you no matter who does it. Lastly if something does go wrong and it has nothing to do with lifting, then they have no grounds to hold back warranties on non related issues anyways.

I wouldn't be worried about a level lift if you have a good product and a proper install and alignment. If you go to a 6" lift and big meaty tires and have front end problems, then there is little chance that many dealerships would do the work as warranty unless they sold the truck as such.

From ToyTec's web site:

FACT:

Dealers don’t like warranty work, because it pays less than normal repair work. By promoting the myth that aftermarket equipment automatically voids warranties, some dealers avoid such low-paying work. Instead, they attempt to charge customers the prime service rate for work which is rightfully done under warranty.

THE TRUTH:

Most vehicle owners are not aware they are protected by federal law: the Magnuson-Moss Warranty – Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of 1975. Under the Magnuson-Moss Act, aftermarket equipment which improves performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer’s original warranty, unless the warranty clearly and conspicuously states that aftermarket equipment voids the warranty. Most states have warranty statutes, as well. Which provide further protections for vehicle owners.

In other words, that means a dealer can’t wiggle out of his legal warranty obligation merely because you install aftermarket equipment. To find out if any aftermarket equipment automatically voids your vehicle’s warranty, check the owner’s manual. It is likely the language you are looking for appears under a heading such as “What Is Not Covered” Although the language seems negative, remember your vehicle manufacturer is simply saying he does not cover the aftermarket products themselves. He is not saying that the products would void the vehicle warranty.
