I don't think so? I lowered mine and my
local dealer didnt say anything about it, as long as you don't cut anything like your frame in half for a c-notch or something. I will ask a friend of mine that works at a dealership and will get back to you.



Sorry if I was'nt to much help

HI Edgar,

Just so you'll know, there are laws governing when a manufacturer can deny a warranty claim, and it's called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

What is basically states that is applicable here is that if whatever aftermarket parts you install do not actually cause damage to the vehicle, then your warranty remains intact.

The automaker is required to *prove* that the modification or aftermarket part(s) in question were the sole cause of a related parts failure, and that had the aftermarket parts not been installed, the related parts would not have failed, so that's pretty strong legal protection.

So just make sure you use a quality kit & installer, so that nothing is damaged, and you should be fine.

Good luck!
