lift kit and warranty
Friends,
Dealer told me that if I put a lift kit on my 05 tj, then the drivetrain
warranty will be voided.
Is this the truth?
thanks

Re: lift kit and warranty
You can modify a vehicle and the manufacturer cannot void the warranty on
components not affected by the modifications. For instance, you can install
a lift and if your radio dies they can't deny a warranty claim on the radio.
When you install a lift, larger tires, etc they may have a case in denying
drivetrain warranty claims, since the new components add stress and strain
to the drivetrain. The burden is on them to prove that the warranty claim
was a result of the modification. And of course they won't cover aftermarket
parts that are part of the lift, ie springs, shocks, control arms,
ring&pinions, etc.
That said, many many TJ's run 33" tires and lifts with stock drivetrain and
have had no problems. Many dealers will deny warranty coverage on factory
parts affected by the lift, but many other dealers will honor warranty
claims even with lifted vehicles, it really depends on the dealer.

Re: lift kit and warranty
Be aware that after the dealer denies they claim you will have to hire a
lawyer and sue for damages.
