leveling kits

What's goin on fellas? New proud owner of a 2011 2500 4x4. I have had it for a total of 3 days now and am licking my chops at all the things I can do to her. Or so I thought. I hear I can't do many mods without voiding my warranty. Since I can't mess with the exhaust system I thought maybe I can raise her up a bit. What are some good leveling kits w/ shocks? Or can I even do this without voiding warranty? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Any rubbing with the 35's? Did you have to add anything else like a new track bar? You know if it voids warranty?

Depends on your dealer. My dealer installs 2" pucks on every truck they get in. An uptight dealer could void your suspension and steering, but not powertrain- that'd be a stretch.

Don't go more than 2" without the adjustable trackbar though.

Tuff Country and Hell Bent Steel make levelers too.

By the way, this is one mod where I'd pay someone else to do it. Compressing the front coils on a new truck is a real pain...literally.

Or you can just jack the frame and drop the axle, avoiding the spring compressing.

A 2" Thuren coil and a set of his Overland shocks would work.

That is how I did it. Took a while but I take my time and also put on some Bilsteins while it was all apart.
