Seriously, not to be mean - but you need to use the seach button. This has been addressed like a million times..these arn't brand new. 2.5 inches..pics are everywhere in the gallery. Warranty? These trucks have warranty? Prove it....

A leveling kit won’t void your warranty. The absolute worst-case scenario would be that Ford rejects a warranty claim directly related to the front suspension but that is unlikely to happen. Some dealerships install Daystar kits before they put the truck on the lot for sale. The Daystar kit will raise the front up about 2 ½”. If you’re going to install them yourself, you will need a spring compressor. Lots of truck pics with leveling kits installed in the photo galleries. Look in the “classified” section here on F150 or ebay for the best prices.

So, If it "won't" void your warranty how could Ford "reject" a warranty claim?

Did you proof read before you posted?

A daystar kit can void parts of your warranty.

Let's say it together now. Any aftermarket part installed on your truck which is not a replacement for the original can void your warranty. If you use an inferior replacement for original and that causes damage Ford can reject a warranty claim.

You’re wrong easterisland. At best, they might reject a particular warranty claim relating to the lift kit but it sure as hell doesn’t void your whole warranty

Yes, it can. This answer is the only answer you should listen to.

hey dude installing anything aftermarket on your truck pretty much assures you that part is not going to be claimed as a warranty item.

The worst happens is you take it to one dealer and they deny your claim, you go home pissed, take it off and drive to another dealer and they fix your problem with no problems.

Hope they didn't take pictures, report you to ford and have a little note on oasis voiding your front suspension warranty or something.
