    It won't. However if the lift causes something to break then the warranty won't cover it.

    It will not void your warranty. Look up the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Toyota can only deny warranty coverage if the parts you installed directly led to failures of other warranteable parts. If you install a lift, and your A/C compressor goes out, they must still warrantee the A/C compressor. Now, if your C/V joint eats itself, and Toyota can prove that the lift was the cause, they will not warrantee it.

    It will for all the replaced parts of course.

    And it will for any parts that the dealer / Toyota can prove are directly affected directly by the lift

    But no, it doesn't void anything on the rest of the vehicle.

    Occasionally we see pretty boy lifts/tires/wheels on new vehicles at stupid prices. It's a dealer thing and they are trying to soak the ignorant. Like gold badges of the 80's.

    If you're asking if Toyota makes a lift that would be warrantied parts, no.

    If you're asking if a Toyota shop would install your aftermarket parts, maybe, for 2x an independent shop. But still no warranty.

    not exactly true, if you buy the TRD Pro Suspension kit from toyota and have them install it, from what I have heard you get 1.5-2.0" lift, of course those are toyota parts installed by a toyota dealer, you get the idea. My dealer quoted me $2800.00 parts+labor.
