My dealers around me say they will warranty any mopar lift installed by mopar techs. I believe mopar's lifts are designed by Teraflex. I could be wrong though. I asked about AEV and they said its up to Chrysler not the dealer.

The place I bought my jeep has these, called "mercenary" the dealer tried to get me into one, but even as such a noob I pointed out so many problems with it. They used a procal, but claimed that was the only dealer that was willing to warranty any of the mods.

Also, a chick from my old high school got one for graduation a week later. I was talking to her sister about it and ended up on the phone with her dad for an hour talking abouthow I could have done ALL the mods for about 10k less. They weren't hard installs.. but the labor they charged for the mods was insane! Like thirty hours. And the parts prices were well over what any of us on this forum would pay. Total for the unlimited sport with all these bolt on mods was $60k... not even a Rubicon... shame

On top of all this you get a fancy sticker on every panel saying mercenary. I view that as buying $150 ripped jeans.. but less respectable. But thats just my opinion in this one dealer situation...

At My dealer the parts manager and few other guys are huge jeep guys. they go all out then after a year or so sell them for a pretty penny. Then do it all over again switching between 2 door or 4 and different colors and off road brands would live there jobs.
