Default Will a dealer give me problems putting Rubicon shocks and springs on a Sport

I'm picking up JkU rubi shocks and springs and putting them on my 2 door sport, since these are OE do you think they will give me a problem with my warranty. I have about 6,000 miles on my jeep, should I wait a little while longer?

Doubt it, they aren't going to tale the time to check your springs versus a rubicon set of springs. They don't look any different just a lottle taller depending on what you have and what your putting on. They can't say anything about what shocks you run

Even if they DID notice, and DID say something, the only affect on your warranty is with the parts directly replaced. If they replace your shocks, and something other than your shocks breaks, the burden is on them to prove that your replacement shocks caused the problem.

That said, I've seen numerous threads about folks upgrading to Rubi shocks, and most of the time their dealers have been okay with it. The Rubi shocks are made by Mopar.

Like kellnry said, they probably won't even notice.

There is no way that those springs are going to cause a problems that wouldn't occur with the springs you removed.

No they won't know. If they do just tell them thats what was on when you bought it.

It's still Mopar Certified Tested Original Equipment Parts

They aren't going to notice nor should they care.

No, shouldn't be a problem. My buddy has the same and he has never had any issues. Although, it always depends on the stealership, some of them can be pretty rediculous at times over the stupidest things.
