Default balljoint warranty? with 4 lift and 35 plus

Anyone know if the lifetime warranty touches balljoints with a lift and 35-37s tires? I figured I would ask.... I have my thoughts

It's worth a shot, the worst they can say is no.

I wouldn't go in there demanding anything. Just be honest with the service manager, and see if there's anything they can do for you.

I have a 4.5" long arm & KM2 35's, at 11,500 miles my ball joints are wasted. I'm replacing them out of my pocket

Default Correct me if I'm wrong, but....

I thought that the lifetime warranty only covered drivetrain components. Ball joints are suspension components.

Life time warranty doesn't cover ball joints at all. They are not considered part of the drive train. They are suspension components.

Mine went out and instead of wasting an afternoon arguing with a dealer I sucked it up, bought Dynatracs joints, rented some tools, installed, and until now ball joints have not crossed my mind. It's a nice relief...

No, not at all.

I but in my SECOND set of Crown ball joints 1 month ago and the left side is already bad after ... 1,500 miles. Yeah, that fast. Total crap. Quadratec offers a 1 year warranty on them so I'm going to return them and purchase a heavier-duty set instead.

I went to my dealer about my balljoints and they would not replace under warranty due to my lift. Debating getting Dynatracs but $600 is a little steep. Eventually I will get them though.
