All this that my buddy is going through has got me paraniod.
I have lifted my JK, 2.5" Tera coil lift, and I am now seriously considering taking it off.
As another poster stated, I have kept all of the factory parts.
Yeah I could put the original stuffs back on if I have an issue, but....
What if an issue occurs and I cannot put stuff on???
My other concern is bringing it in for any service...
I have changed my oil 2x now since owning it @ 3000 mi and now @ 6000.
But other service....

ARGGGG!

I feel your pain I'm real cautious with mine because of the warranty. Being yours is a manual the only issue that I can see is your clutch going out. If that were to happen even if it were stock they would blame that on you any way.

Well if you have to deal with the same stealer as your friend and have a problem I would think you had best put Her back to stock before you take it in.

Thought about a lift on my Rubi but putting the warranty at risk freaks me out. Bunch of armor underneath was the option for me then nobody can say anything.

Because of that dealership's service manager being mod friendly I went ahead and put on the lift. Now he is no longer there....
The dealership I purchased my JK from is not mod friendly as are the others in the area.
DOH!
Defintely looks like Off w/ the lift as soon as I can get the guys who helped me put it on have some time available.

Towing does put a extra strain on the drive train, the difference is its allowable with no risk to the warranty.

Thats kind of how I'm feeling about things too. With all these nightmare stories in regards to warranty issues.
