Check out the off road sections of chevyfullsize and gmfullsize. There are a good amount of people who have tried the different kits offered. Good picts and instructions as well!

Ok I am only new to this aftermarket mods to trucks. Whats the difference in a leveling kit and a lift. Also I heard from a couple of people that a lift would affect your Stabilitrak...I have to contact dealer to find out if this is true...if so I won't be getting a lift done.

I was also worried about any warranty issues so I had my Chevrolet dealer install level kit.

 

 

Ok, hold on a minute. You had the dealer install your kit, and that does not void your warranty?

 

 

How about a dealer installed lift? (I know this was discussed somewhat in a post by blown03) Does a dealer installed lift (besides costing an arm and a leg) allow you to maintain your warranty? Do they have a factory approved, or dealer approved kit??

 

I guess I have always wondered about a factory approved kit and having it installed during time of production, anyone else heard/ done this?

On a dealer installed lift or leveling kit only that dealer will honer the warranty and will be hard to find one that will do it. Yes kits like these will void the warrenty only if the kit is the cause of the problem say you blow a CV joint, axle, steering componets or anything drive line related. Now if you take your truck in for a lets say bad window seal they will fix it under warrenty but if the lift is noticed it will be noted in there computer system and will be on the reciept you recieve when picking up your truck "I have seen this" I have a few friends that work for the service dept at our local dealership and if they are caught honering a claim that is suppose to out of warrenty due to vehicle modifcation they can be penalized and ordered to pay GM the money it would have cost to have the vehicle repaired. So thats why some dealers are tight on warrenty claims.

Some risk and liability must be accepted any time you modify your vehicle.

 

Legally, unless you alter factory components in a way that makes them unsafe or prone to failure, the warranty will remain in effect. However, It is reasonable to assume that your front suspension would be "questionable" from a warranty standpoint if you add a spacer to the top of it for levelling purposes. You are altering an original design. I guess it depends on how much you need a safety blanket to live life.

 

If anybody gets the "VOIDED WARRANTY" line of from a dealer for adding aftermarket items, they need to contact a regional warranty representative for clarification. Just because "Joe Blow" on a dealership service drive says you have no warranty... doesn't make it so. Quality of employees varies at a dealership just as it does wherever you work.

 

I know some exceptional dealership people and I've known a few that were pure uninformed jerks.

BTW

 

I lowered the rear of mine 2" with shackles to level it out and it rides better than ever. New trucks sit up so high that lowering the rear a little instead of raising the front is a good alternative unless you are trying to go with really large tires or intend to carry huge payloads. Might be worth considering. Also, If you are concerned about warranty, there is little chance that the shackles will raise any eyebrows on the service drive.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
