The Rundown
Will a lift kit void my warranty? Depending on the dealership and the location, the answer varies. Many dealerships will happily say yes, as that eliminates a potential headache for them down the road if your AC goes out within the time of your warranty, and they respond with the fact that your lift kit voided your warranty. Come again? The lift kit… voided the warranty on a completely unrelated part? Unfortunately, that is the way of many dealerships. However, here at Thunder we can say we are an upfit friendly dealership. There are many lift companies we work with that can get a lift installed on your brand-new truck, with these companies the factory warranty is not voided. What if you want to take your brand-new truck somewhere else for a lift? While we offer great options for lifts, the good news is that if you go anywhere else, a lift under 3 inches does not void the warranty. We want to put you at ease when it comes to getting a truck, especially because when you purchase a vehicle, you want to make it your own as soon as the papers are signed.
How Does My Warranty Work When I Get My Truck Lifted?
The easy answer, just like any other warranty. We do our best to get the parts that go out replaced and get repairs done on your vehicle in a timely manner, much the same as any other vehicle under warranty. At Thunder, we pride ourselves on being as hassle free as we can be, and one way that we do that is by making sure you are happy with your purchase, and with how it runs.
What Lifts Do Not Void My Warranty?
Well again, we do our best to honor the warranty for any lift done outside of our dealership that comes in under 3 inches. Once that threshold is crossed, unfortunately the warranty may be void. However, MOPAR lifts, and other lifts that come in under 3 inches will not void your warranty. We also offer trucks such as TecStar customs, that come out of the gate lifted and we honor warranties on those vehicles. On top of traditional pickup trucks, we offer AEV lifts through special order, these lifts are also included in the warranty and will not void it.

Like in all things, if you have more questions about lifts and warranties, call or come in, our excellent customer service can help you work through any questions.
