    I am in a bit of a jam. i want to add a lift to my 2010 tacoma but i am still under warranty. I want to put on as much as i can without voiding the warranty. What are my options?

    if you put a lift on it wont void your warranty unless the anything breaks that they can prove your lift caused. hope this helps. Basically a lift isnt going to void your radio from crapping out.

    Lots of stuff
    does your toyota dealership ever sell new lifted tacomas? If so ask them what they used as they cannot say this will void warranty. However, it will more than likely be a pos top plate spacer lift and rear block. The nearby dealership uses truxx and claimed that it would not void warranty

    Say you do this And you end up breaking a shackle for example they will accuse this suspension lift of breaking the damaged part.

    Look into the areas that a lift effects. suspension, steering, drive line angles and then think if you want to accept the fact that problems can happen. If they do it's the dealership decision to warranty the failed item or not. I work for Ford and we install Leveling kits on some of the F150s to attract a certain group of consumers. The trucks come with a 12mo/12,000 mile drive train warranty with the leveling kits.
