Ok, i want a lift, but the people at the jeep dealership say it will void my warrenty, which I dont think is really going to happen. Did it void any of your warrneties, by getting a lift?

thanks

They can only void certain parts as they pertain to the lift...springs, struts, control arms, etc. If your radio stops working they'd have to somehow prove that your lift caused it...good luck! So basically your dealer doesn't know too much about the warranty or they just want the extra $$$ they make when doing "non-warranty" repairs.

Do a search on the "Moss-Magnussen Act." It requires that dealers must prove that your modifications caused the damage before denying warranty work. Make sure the dealer knows you are aware of this law and often they change their minds. 8)

Some reading for your dealer.

MAGNUSON-MOSS ACT



Lift that bad boy! Only the aftermarket lift components or modified parts will not be covered.

I lifted mine with the Rusty's, I love it except for the shocks a little to soft for me.

I'm gonna have to find some Warranty law for Canada....just so I have quotes to use....however, having spoken directly to DC Canada...more specifically a Jeep Representitive from DC Canada over the phone....he basically said "Yeah man lift away...its Jeep isn't it?! They can't touch you for voiding the whole warranty with a lift....if they even hint at it tell 'em to call us, we'll take care of him"....I thought to myself "Nice...I only wish dealerships were like this guy" :wink:
