    Welcome!

    and i don’t think they make a 8” lift kit. I think a 3 or 4 guys may have 8” but it’s more just getting different parts and stuff no real “kit”. also are you 4wd or 2wd?

    Warranty depends on what you break. If lift/35s caused breakage then void.

    I dont believe with 35s on a 6 inch you will have to do fender well cutting. You will most definitely want to regear for that size of a tire.

    I don't know about the cutting but regear is probably desireable if you still have the 3.73s.

    6 inch lift you can say bye to your warranty. you have to cut the frame support aswell as the bigger tires add stress on differentials axles and drive shafts along with added stress on the motor and transmission.

    Thought 4x4s had 4.10/11s? Warranty will only be voided if the lift caused the problem you want fixed.
