$2k? not worth it IMO. Dealers can say what the want, but really its Chrysler that has to approve of the warranty work. I knew lifting mine was going to void the suspension part of the warranty. But I didn't care.

It's really up to you on what you want to do though. I just can't see spending that much on a 2in lift.


Can't wait to see your rig once you've got everything though!

Yeah, no offense, but good luck with that. As an attorney I can unequivocally tell you that your dealer, much less a service employee, cannot make make a promise to you that binds Chrysler (the obligor/warrantor under your warranty).

Holy crap...I just realized the price. $2k for two inches?!? What in the world is included in that kit? Please tell me they aren't going to charge you $2k for a budget boost.

If that is the kit, it is a Mopar performance part based on the manufacturer's product number prefix starting with a "P".

The attached is taken directly from the Mopar performance parts catalog. As you can see, not only is there no warranty on the part, if it causes damage to an OEM part you are out of luck there as well.

This is an extract from the MOPAR e-Store for the mopar lift kit

WARRANTY: Lift Kits work with all vehicle systems including the Electronic Stability Program, and are covered (except P5155075) by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The warrantor is the Lift Kit manufacturer, not Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC, or the dealership selling the product. Contact the Mopar Direct Connection Tech Line (888-528-4364) for warranty details and installation instructions.
P5155075 is a 4.5" long arm lift kit and from what this says that is the only part that doesn't carry a warranty.
although the bit about the lift kit manufacturer being responsible for the warranty makes you wonder why you can't just go and use any other lift kit manufacturer...

Besides, whomever you wrote would prolly be fired and or reprimanded for what he put down because it negates what's already been put into print on Mopar Performance parts. Remember, all they have to say is he don't work here anymore.
So cynical, lol...and likely 100% correct.

It is a sad reality, especially with Chrysler, that any service floor manager fixing anything under warranty he could have wiggled out of is likely violating corporate policy and risking his job.

Samething in my area

2 years ago, my dealer had a special kit: Rubicon express 4.5" lift kit.
No issue with the warranty
The price was 5000$ Ridiculous
