Well depending on your dealer it COULD void the warranty. If you have electrical problems then you should be able to get coverage. If you blow out a driveshaft the dealer may tell you to pay up because of the lift.

You could do better (quality) then Rough Country on a lift kit.

Rough Country's have a terribly stiff ride.

Get an Edge lift by Donahoe racing. The ride is better than stock. All spring lifts ride better than block lifts. Also, it is a bad idea to stack blocks. If you can't afford an Edge than at least look at a Superlift or a Fabtech.

Remember when it comes to lift kits.............You get what you pay for.

IMHO,

Tom

It really depends on your service manager/service writer.

Well if you have that many to choose from, but if they stay in touch you will be cut off at the pass.

What happened??
