Default warranty

If anybody here is putting mods on their new Jeeps, is it voiding your warranty. What can you do to sleeve that? I want to put my mods on myself to save money. Please advise

There are a few threads that are around that cover this. Basically, from what I have gathered some dealerships frown on it and others do not.

Every dealer's say about it is different. The average say is you can lift and put tires and wheels on it without voiding the drivetrain warranty, but the second you slap on a new exhaust kit or CAI, gears & driveshafts(which invariably always come with lifts & tires), that warranty is history.

Be careful as to what you do to your jeep that will stress it and cause it to wear out key parts quickly. I bought my '08 at 55k miles, put 35's on and bumpers and crap, then my clutch went out. Took it to the dealer and he said I still could use the warranty on my jeep even with all my mods, but certain "wearable" parts won't be covered in any warranty if you add stuff that breaks em

That shouldn't be a problem. They are supposed to be able to prove that your mod caused the damage. A leveling kit and 33's should go unnoticed.

I agree, unless your dealers a dick you'll be fine. I'd actually just spend a couple hundred more for a 2.5" budget boost since you're going with 33's. They're just as easy to install and a much more satisfying look for your money...
