Voided warranty
Hello I just recently purchased a 2009 4 door wrangler and I am looking to install a lift kit. I have however been hesitant because I do not know how the lift will affecty warranty. I was wondering if anyone had any information on what aftearket mods void the manufacturers warranty. Thanks.

Plenty of threads with this same topic, but here is the answer from the FAQ:
So adding a lift won't void the warranty on your radio, but you couldn't really expect them to warranty your springs/shocks. Nor could you run 44" tires on a front D30 and expect them to warranty the axle when it blows up on you.
A lot depends on your dealer, also. Some are way more 'mod' friendly than others. Might be a good idea to talk to a few service departments to see which one to go to.
Q: Will installing a lift void my warranty?
A: No. In order for your dealer to deny repairs to a break on your Jeep, they would need to prove that the damage was caused specifically by the lift.
