My SILVERADO sits to low in the front end causing the spoiler to hit its a 2014 with Z71 do they have a factory kit that's covered under warranty

a factory kit covering warranty? yeah no. you want it higher gotta go get a leveling kit. There is no standard for how high cars and truck have to be off the ground so they will not do anything under warranty for you.

Are you asking if it will void the warranty if you put a level kit on? No, the dealer will do it for you if you want but it will be more expensive than having a local shop or doing it yourself. Make sure you get an alignment afterwards.

Nope. Nothing from GM. Rough Country, Zone, Cognito, etc. all make leveling kits. Or, remove the air dam. What driving do you do that it hits? Also, duplicate thread as well.

Their is a very long thread on leveling kits. I went with a 1" that uses both top and bottom coil spacers to require less ball joint strain and keeps factory ride. The kit is able to be a 1/2, 1, or 1 1/2. At 2 and especially 2 1/2, to me even though the wheel wells are even with the back, the body lines makes the front "look" higher. Also I tow so I wanted a small rake. If I get lighter camper I may install the other 1/2" to be at 1.5. Kits 1.5 and lower also only require installer to unbolt the sway bar ends and coils so very quick and easy install. Still need front end alignment.

your truck has a nice stance with the one inch lift ,as far a towing goes does your truck stay pretty level when you hook the trailer up,I ask because I would like to level mine a bit but I tow an 8000 pound trailer and I don't want the front end pointing at the sky ,thanks

4 jayco eagle is around the same and it does fine. But depending on multiple factors the tongue weight on your trailer is probably different. my axles are really far in the back so I think I have a heavier tongue weight. and this is what is so good about that kit is you can always go up or down as needed....just make sure whoever aligns your truck you get the lifetime alignment.

 

also this truck is a z71 and sits just a higher higher than the regular 4x4 I traded in

Not covered under warranty. Kind of like you saying you didnt like the wheels or the paint and wanting it fixed. You bought it that way. Plenty of levling kits out there for a few hundred bucks or so plus install. It wont void your warranty as whole. but if your front shocks go out, tie rod, etc, they may try to shaft on fixing items like that under warranty. I mean they shouldnt void your warranty, but I always say this, do any sort of modification to your vehicle while under factory warranty be prepared for a dealer to in some sort of fashion give you hassle, void parts of your warranty etc. Thats just the way it goes. Not saying it will happen, but it does happen and not just a little bit.

The leveling kit, oversize tires, and wheels on my truck were all installed by the dealer before I ever saw it. Lucky for me the tires they chose were Toyo AT's which are my favorite truck tire anyway. They did a good job, smooth ride, drove straight, so I bought it and haven't messed with it since. Two things I did have to do: they forget to add a matching oversize spare, so I did, along with carrying a block to be able to jack the vehicle up high enough. I also corrected the speedometer and odometer with a Hypertech, which has the added bonus of correcting the shift points and V4 operation for the oversize tires and corresponding new overall gear ratio. I don't recommend oversize tires with the 3.08 rear end, but with the 3.42 it's been fine. More details in my signature block.

They are doing the same here. Things like that I beleive if they are covering is a dealer warranty on those items that usually match the factory warranty. Buddy bought a rocky ridge edition and everything was covered but the rubber. But I have also seen trucks on lots where this stuff was not covered.
