    They offer the warranty but can try and pull this kind of bs. A local jeep dealer where i used to live sold jeeps and dodge rams with anywhere from2.5 to 6 inch lifts, had them in the showroom all the time. Ppl were getting denied warranty work as service dept said problems were bein caused by the lifts. Chrysler got a lot of complaints about the dealer. The dealership got in shit with chrysler for this and started providing better servicr but that still left the buyer with all kinds of headaches.

    Good to hear they finally did you right.

    Larger tires will result in a greater rotational weight, but hell if you can slap on a TRD supercharger on the truck a slight variation in tires (to an extent) won't make a difference.

    supercharger has to be installed by a dealership for warranty to still be in place

    that vibe over 60 is most likely the driveshaft, your shafts need to fall within tolerance angles relative to the tc, diff, etc from your lift. there is a thread on here that helped me get my rear pinion, tc, and carrier b angles into the green.

    i had carrier bearing issues, they replaced my whole front diff. I am running a 2" lift so nothing drastic. I did have another dealer blame my tires for vibes but i took a second opinion at another dealer.

    im glad the OP got this sorted out but i believe all the people yelling and screaming about the Mag Warranty act are pretty much wrong and this tech is right ^

    its my understand that if you want to hang your hat on the Warranty act its up to YOU to prove it (typically in court) against the manufacture. good luck going up against the people who built the truck! thats my understanding....

    since new had vibration and sometimes the abs kicks in around sllow speed winding turns(2012 Tacoma base). put 8k miles on before adding Bilstein lift and 32 inch tires..every time a new tsb for vibration came out I took my truck to dealer.. 2 NJ dealers told me the tsb wasn't for my truck and not performed..truck always serviced at Penske (Turnersville Toyota). Now I have 41k miles and took back yesterday for newest TSB for vibration and the newest abs tsb and was told they wouldn't update the tSB's because of lift and tires. (was never a problem being serviced under warranty before and I complained since the truck was new)... iits time for lemon law , been back 5 times for same issue..but love the truck but now don't love the BS.. Time for Toyota to get the truck back.
