Was lifting your brand new JK worth it?

Couldn't be happier, no regrets, and my Jeep hasn't seen a dealership since I drove it off the lot over 4 years ago. 90% of my mods were done in the first year of ownership.

I would say if lifting your jeep "voids the warranty" I'd find a different dealer. I've had warranty work with no questions asked as have a ton of other guys. I've heard of some dealers being like that and you will be best just to go to another dealer that won't hassle you about doing what 90 percent of jeep owners do.

I held out for 1600 miles before modding. It gave me a chance to see what a bone-stock JKUR could do as-is.
Bottom line - a very capable rig. Now with 3" lift and 35s - an even more capable rig.

Knock on wood, but I've never needed a warranty after day 1 and I've bought at least 10 brand new vehicles.

My 2017 has 200 miles and I just put my 2.5" RE lift on yesterday in my garage. I can't mod fast enough. Still has paper plates on. I want the warranty for the engine, the suspension is all me.

Yea me too, but suspension mods can effect the warrantee regarding the powertrain. There is a huge thread about warrantees on here, and messing with the suspension is a big gamble if you are concerned about it. Its obviously dealer specific, but the ones Ive asked have said unless its their lift, it will most likely void the warrantee. That's a huge topic though.
