    I think most of the warranty questions would come from the dealership. Depends on what they feel like they want to warranty. I had a mustang they tried to blame everything on the flowmaster axle backs I installed. Toyota place leaves me alone because they know I do things right because I'm peculiar over my truck. I even let them do some of the stuff they can do so they can get a little cash from it. I think that helps some too.

    My dealer installed a 2" Tuff Country leveling kit - they said no warranty issues.

    The deal said it was 8.000 in labour for a 300 dollar leveling kit.. I paid 37 for the aluminum spacers and 24 for the diff and plate lowering kit.. I have no problem installing them... dealers are redicuuos

    I called my warranty company.. I have platinum plan covers every thing bumper to bumper.. they said the 2.5 lift will be delt with on a case by case bases. Which is insurance code for .. we will blame any suspension claim on your lift kit.. so I'm not doing it to risky .

    That's why if something happens take the leveling kit off then tell the dealer what the problem is :)

    Guys-
    They have to prove lift caused said issue. I've had every truck I've own lifted - nothing above 3.5". No issues- ever.

    Where you get into (potential) warranty issues is the DB lift at 6"+

    Research has pointed to yaw trac and tire psi monitor trouble lite issues with leveling kits.. Has anyone with 3rd Gen. Tundra had warning lite issues after install?

    Usually this goes away after alignment. But I've done 5 tundras mine twice and never had this problem

    Thats a spacer for lift. 2.75 sounds like you may have a bit of the nose up look.

    When I shifting to drive 10 sec later I hear a metallic thump on left side rear.. the dealer said it was parking brake?
    Mech said to drive back and apply brake to adjust.
    Are the parking brake adjusters auto adjust ? ..
