My local Ford dealer will install the A/S leveling kit, align my truck and warranty the work for $450. I know that the kit can be bought and installed fairly cheap, and I have no issue with vehicle mechanics. That being said, I am still thinking about having this done as my truck is new, I want to maintain my full warranty, AND when they are done it is already aligned.

What do you guys think?

 

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shouldn't cost more than $350 and that would be a rip off.
IF they charge $100 per hour on labor for 2 hours, that's $200,
You can get the kit for less than $100,
and get an alignment for under $50
Total of $350 and being ripped off.

I bought the $80 AS leveling kit w/ free shipping. Took my time and from the time I walked outside to the time I walked back inside it was 2 hours.
Got it aligned my Ford for $40
Grand total of $120.

Nothing is wrong with the leveling kit, it won't hurt anything, and they can't void your warrenty for it, only thing they could do is if for some reason your CV shaft went, then they'd say they couldn't replace it b/c of the leveling kit affected the CV shafts life.
Now if the PS pump goes out, it'll be under warrenty, and they can't said it's the Leveling Kits fault.

 

i agree with MBB...... it is way cheaper to do it yourself and pay for the alignment. as for the warranty... it wont matter, since the AS will not cause you any problems !!!
