definitely doesn't void the factory warranty. I have an '04 with just over 30,000 miles on it and Bayview Ford is still doing my repairs

It wouldn't void anything not directly related to the front suspension. I guess the dealership could make a case that if anything related to the front suspension or tires could be caused by the leveling kit, but beyond that you should be safe. No way a leveling kit can cause an engine or tranny problem.

Make sure to have the front end aligned after installing the leveling kit. I didn't do this and I'm buying new tires now. I wanted to buy new tires anyway but the ones I'm riding on now are just unsafe. They're wearing from the outer edges in and quick. I have had my front end aligned and have new tires on order. Everything should be back to normal pretty soon. Good Luck.

I would wait until you got the new tires before getting the alignment...

Day late and Dollar short. I had the alignment done just a couple of weeks ago when I had the 30,000 mile service done on my truck. My new tires will be here tomorrow do you think I should still have a front end alignment done as well? I know I am going to have to recalibrate my spedometer.

Just see how it drives first. It's always best to get an alignment after any suspension work and when you get new wheels & tires as well.
I have the lifetime alignment from Evan's Tires, $149 for as many alignments as I want.
