Warranty problems with leveling kit?

Will there be any issues with a leveling kit with the factory 36k warranty? How about air intake/exhaust? I am also considering purchasing an extended warranty, how much is one and is it worth it?

Call your dealer and ask.

According to FORD's Policy, any aftermarket part that causes a FORD PART to fail prematurely will void your Factory Warrantee.........

That is the best thing to do, every dealer is different about having aftermarket parts on your vehicle. Some will void your warranty for almost anything, like the 2 that are within 30 miles of my house. Others like the one I go to which is almost 50 miles away, will let you do basically anything you want and still cover it. After my truck was in for some small warranty work the owner of the dealership was asking what I had done to the truck, so I told him. A couple weeks later they had 2 brand new F150's with leveling kits and wheels/tires on them sitting on the lot.

Ok, thanks guys.
I did call, they said it may or may not void the warranty depending on the problems that may arise. I told them I how I need to get my truck in for some slight issues with my 4WD and how the truck is down shifting kinda funny, they said I would be smart to get it taken care of before the leveling kit and 35" tires go on so there aren't any warranty issues. Trouble is they can't get me in for another 3 weeks! But I think I'll play it safe and wait it out.
I've only got about 5k left on the warranty anyway.

Oh and PHS79, thats pretty funny how the dealership copied you
