They can't void or reject a warranty claim unless they prove the aftermarket accessory caused the failure.


Yes, but no. They void your warranty. YOU must prove that the aftermarket part did not cause the damage. The dealership does not have to prove shite.

Dealer told me that a leveling kit will not affect the warranty.

CSC does pretty good work and stand behind it pretty well in my experience.

I absolutely loved csc and the work they did. They have sold out and I do not believe that any of the former owners or managers are still present.

However, anybody can install a leveling kit.

I will be going to Searchers for my future projects though. They did great on my jeep and are local.

BLM, I have some new Bilstein front 5100s that were never installed if you are interested. I was going to put them on my '12 fx4 but traded it in for a '15.

Has closed down
I did not know that. Although I'm not shocked, they did good work but did not have the following that Searchers did.

The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable about Jeeps and lifts. I worked for him when I was in college at the old shop.

They handled my first Jeep from ground up. Overkill for my daily drivers these days, but they will start to get my money again.

I worked for Light Line for about a month. I decided Ricky was an a-hole and quit after that

Had Phil do some work on my truck and he is really nice and has fair prices. Gotta support another LSU alumn too

4wd Specialists in Monroe - I think it was the superlift leveling kit which is essentially 2 5100 adjustable shocks

They can't void your warranty due to aftermarket parts, what they can do is refuse to cover a repair under warranty because they feel the aftermarket part was the cause. Your factory and/or extended warranties are still protected for the agreed upon terms.

You're literally splitting hairs. If you tune your motor, its voided. Not your window switch. I thought that was common sense.

09 Silverado with 2 inch level and 1 1/2 inch body lift with 34 inch tires. Had to replace upper A-arms (ball joints) after about 50k. Also had to change wheel bearing assembly on drivers side. Not sure if this was caused by level or not. I have an under the shock C style level from Rough Country. Was super easy to install in my driveway. Took about 1 1/2 hours. ALSO GET A 2 INCH LEVEL, not 2 1/2!!!!! The angle change on you geometry is more extreme and it will end up higher in the front over time, especially if you tow something....which looks terrible.
