    Huh?
    You mean if i lifted my truck and use spacers
    I will not void my warranty?

    Maybe the dealership can instead lift it up?

    Magnuson-moss warranty act. Essentially only the things you change won't be warrantied. I.E after market shocks can't be warrantied. You can't be denied a warranty of say a motor over wheels and tires.

    What about if you replace OEM shocks for aftermarket shocks within OEM specs? Would that still void the manufacture warranty?

    Lots of what ifs in that question. Dealership could argue incorrect install and on and on. Like a lot of people will advise, only do what you’re comfortable with. Nothing wrong with a clean stock truck if that’s what suits your life.

    they have to prove what you did caused the failure.

    some of their troubleshooting is BS, like when I had warranty work and they gave me back my truck with a CEL for fuel trims, they wouldn't touch it until I welded the exhaust leaks after the last o2 sensor. turned out they disturbed the intake manifold gasket and I ripped their ass.

    after that, they've been nice to me while bringing in the new car for the freebie service. :anonymous:

    I saw this truck the other day
    Makes me want to lift my truck like this
    But with off road tires
    How much is everyone spending to lift their trucks
    Including wheels and tires

    Is there a one stop shop to do this
    Lifts plus wheels and tires
    This truck has a fox racing shocks

    That one stop shop will be the shop we don’t talk about in this forum or Maui Offroad aswell probably will be cheaper if you order the parts on your own have somebody like @hacklerjason install it or somebody on here that’s willing to install it for you

    Lift costs vary wildly. But 6 inch lift will be at least 5k. This forum has lots and lots of info on lifts in the suspension section. They all have pros and cons.

    There are affordable options to lift your truck (spacer, Bilstein 5100's, or even OME with AAL in the rear). It all depends on your budget, your preferences, your function, and your level of patience.

    As the saying goes, "buy once, cry once". Best is to save up and buy a solid suspension system that you want and that you can also rebuild like Kings, Icon, ADS, and Fox.

    Like @DEDAFLO670 said, if you want to save some money; best is to order the parts you want and install yourself or have someone experienced like @hacklerjason do your install.

    There are other options like Mod Industries that are reputable, but I highly recommend Jason.

    But I've seen some horrible installs by these "professional" shops. Case in point, this weekend, I saw a third gen Tacoma that had the bolts from their shackle installed incorrectly and the bolt tip rubbed so hard on the shackle hanger, the bolt dug itself into the shackle hanger. Basically needs to get shackle flip or Archive Garage Hammer Hangers at this point because those OEM shackle hangers are done.

    Edit: Another example is that I've seen other shops stack top strut spacers onto each other. So sketchy.
