    Toyota won't warranty those non Toyota parts. I hope you have a good paying job for non warranty consumable parts coverage like shocks and brake components.

    I'd like to just upgrade my suspension, ride wise, which is why I read these threads. If and when I do it and I end up with a little lift I'll consider it a plus.

    Do some research on how warranties work, particularly the Magnuson Moss warranty act.

    There is no such thing as "your warranty is voided". Obviously Toyota will no cover the parts you replaced, or anything that the lift directly cause to fail, but your truck warranty on everything else will still be there.

    Basically they can't deny your claim that the battery died because you put a lift on your truck.

    Its getting bad, Im almost broke.
    My suggestion is dont spend 35k on a truck and then put cheap crap on it. If you cant afford to put put quality stuff on, wait until you can buy the right stuff. Just my opinion though.

    Why do you need that lift? What are you going to be doing? I'm just asking what I think are good questions to ask you or ask yourself. I'm not trying to give you a hard time or dissuade you in anyway. I'm all for going big or go home, lol! And post pics too when you decide and get the work done.

    I know that I am wrong when I said that altering a vehicle will void a warranty...but wait theres more.My lifted Jeep Cherokee warranty was voided because of the lift kit.The parts not covered under warranty because of the lift included the front differential and transfer case issues.But you are right to ignore me because you obviously know much more than I do.The AC compressor was replaced under warranty after the lift because it had nothing to do with the lift.

    Me personally I'll likely be going with Kings or OME BP-51s. Those are best based on my research but to each their own.

    Talk to TJ at bajakits. Someone can link his name here.

    Good question and a lot of decent advice. I just recently had the Icon Stage 4 put on my truck! I don't have any complaints about how it handles after it has broken in and everything has been retourqed. If you have any major questions... call the manufacturer. I called Icon and they were really friendly and accommodating. I am happy with what I got and for what I paid. Handles exceptionally well for what I have put it through and can tell it will handle more. Remember that once you pull the trigger that there is no going back.

    If you lift your shit, you better be ready to figure out and trouble shoot issues. If you don't have knowledge or mechanical abilities, you better have pockets to pay someone to figure it. Nothing ever goes smoothly or without issues, If you say your truck is perfect, I'd love to go for a ride.

    If you think that a lift should void the warranty on your front differential and transfer case you shouldn't be giving advice on this question. A lift might damage a CV, but there is now way that a lift could somehow cause your front differential or transfer case to exceed their design input torque limits. You got ripped off by your dealer.
