I was told by my dealer that i am aloud to lift my JK 2 inches and still have FULL Warranty! But anything over 2" inches voids the warranty. I would guess on things connected to it.

Any I am looking at the Full traction 2" and RE 2". Are there any other options? What are you guys running and do you like them? Also, Should i get the shocks too?

THanks!

 

Well for one, I don't know how your dealer could make such an absurd statement. But, if you're determined to stick with a 2" lift, both kits you have listed will do the trick just fine. Also, unless you are planning to run shock extensions, I would recommend new longer ones with your lift as well.

 

Federal Warranty Laws
1.The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))

This federal law regulates warranties for the protection of consumers. The essence of the law concerning aftermarket auto parts is that a vehicle manufacturer may not condition a written or implied warranty on the consumers using parts or services which are identified by brand, trade, or corporate name (such as the vehicle maker's brand) unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. The law means that the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty. Further, consumers are advised to be aware of any specific terms or conditions stated in the warranty which may result in its being voided. The law states in relevant part:

“No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name...” (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)).

 

Tell him you are going to use a different dealer from now on because the other one said up to 3" is okay. I would love to see his story change. Every dealer I went to had a different story like that.

 

Thanks CLACKEY573

 

Thank you guys, But I don't think he meant that anything over 2" would void the vehicle warranty. But that if i put a 2" or less lift on and have a issue with the jeep that was directly caused by the lift, then that part is still considered warrantied.

Where as if i install a 3" lift and IT directly causes something to break then that would not be warrantied.

Does this make sense?

 

I have the Skyjacker 2" BB with Nitro Shocks and I like it just fine.

 

I see the FT comes with a front track bar bracket. Is this what has broken on other users kits?

 

But there inlies the problem, what kind of break would be caused by a 3" lift? Are they suggesting that if something does break on your Jeep, they wouldn't cover it under warranty just because you had a 3" lift and even if it had nothing to do with the lift in question? In other words, is your entire vehicle warranty voided (i.e. problems with your hard top, seat belts, carpeting, etc.) just because you went 1" taller than what they are saying you can go? Does this really make sense to you?

 

No. It was the rear axle track bar mount that has been breaking and it was on the Skyjacker kit.
