    Sounds like this is a third-party warranty (not from Toyota). Those are known for having a lot of exclusions for even stock vehicles.

    If it were me, I’d have the off-road shop which did the work make it right. Especially since they were the ones who modified it.

    Either that or as someone else suggested, buy a can of motorcycle chain oil (I’m partial to the Bel Rey brand, but I also run O-Ring chains so I don’t have to use it very often) and give it a squirt :thumbsup:

    :rofl:When I worked in a dealership the sales guys would always say “there’s an ass for every seat”. Shows you how much you care to them.

    Make sure that it isnt the front 2 body mounts squawking. there is a TSB on this problem.
    as for automotive sales if everything was up and up why would they need salesmen to sell you anything. their just a tool of the industry to get you to sign on the dotted line.

    I have mentioned this in another thread for those who buy a new Taco do not lift it as the warranty is void. Like mentioned here they will use that against you when you bring it in for some warranty issues. Live and learn. I say wait till all the warranties most after 3 years are done then modify the shit out of your Tacoma.

    100% false. I’ve lifted every Toyota truck and both my Tacoma’s and have never had a warranty claim denied. Some dealers are just shitty. Plus there are plenty of dealers selling them lifted right off the lot.

    If a dealer tried to deny service like this I would try another dealer. Be up front and clear with them about the style of lift that is on the truck, and let them diagnose where the squeak is coming from. BUT...

    First I would just have the offroad shop look at it and determine if it's even coming from the springs. If it didn't squeak before the install, then obviously something they did is causing this.

    Also, we have 2 different threads going on calling dealers "Liars" about extended warranties and we still have a day to go before Friday gets here.

    I fluid Film under my truck twice per year and I hit the leafs with it as well. Never had a squeak because of it.

    That's one of the reasons I went with the RC 3.5/2 bolt on. I'll put the old pieces back on before taking it in for any warranty work. After 36k miles I'll sell the "Hitachi" shocks/struts for a case of beer or something.

    Spray the springs with some lube and move on with your life. If this is all you have to cause you concern you lead a very Blessed life.
