I was thinking about installing this in my new 2014 silverado. Will this void the suspension warranty? Can this be avoided by having a dealer install?

I installed on my 2014 Silverado myself. When I talked to the service department at the local dealer, they told me that the only way warranty wouldn't cover a suspension issue is if they could prove that the leveling kit was the cause of the issue. But that goes with any aftermarket non OEM part or accessory. My exhaust system and cold air intake all fall in the same category. As for getting the dealer to install, they are probably more capable and have the equipment to do this installation a lot quicker and safer than doing at home. If I had to do over I would let the dealer or certified mechanic do this job. It is a great addition tho! I installed on my 2014 Silverado myself.

anything you do to alter/change the suspension from gm factory will void your warranty if any failure is found to be directly related to the changes that you have made. having said that, i'm a parts manager at a gm store and have had our tech install the pro comp kit in my 2014 silverado along with alignment and have had no issues to date.

I installed this on my 2014 a year ago. To the best of my knowledge it does not void the warranty and is easily removable if you lease the truck. Get a good alignment after installation and get the headlights adjusted. They'll be a bit high.

I'm very happy with mine. A friend was impressed with the nice ride, he has a major lift on his Tacoma but is way stiffer then mine. I put them on a 2014 Tacoma, have them on the 3rd setting for about a 2" lift. They use your stock coil springs, but you can also get different coils too. These are a much better way to get a lift then spacers, check out this info: http://www.bilsteinus.com/fileadmin/user_upload/user_upload_us/pdfs/Bil_LevShks_WebArticle_01.pdf

I do not, nor have I ever owned a Silverado. That being said, I seriously doubt these are a "plug and play" situation for any vehicle. They are specifically designed to mount on something (bumper, roll bar, bull bar) using a vertical bolt (that comes with them). If you have molded in lights in your bumper, these would be a difficult drop in. I guess the short answer is I would seriously doubt it.

I installed mine on a 99 2 wheel drive. If all you do is drive on streets and no big bumps including speed bumps you should be fine. When i hit speed bumps or any big bumps on my hunting property that causes the front end to bounce my shocks will keep it from stretching as far as it will go. Without the leviling kit i did not have this problem. I will install longer shocks when i have the time but i have been saying that for a year now.

No. No matter what Cold Air or Short Ram intake you buy aftermarket can NOT void your warranty UNLESS it is the cause of your cars problem. The dealership would have to prove that the intake system has caused any issues. You can also check K&N;'s website: http://www.knfilters.com/faq.htm#9

You should not need longer shocks. I just recently put these on my 2000 F-150 2WD and am still using the stock shocks. You shouldn't "need" anything else for installation. But keep in mind the age of our trucks. Things will likely break when you start ripping them apart or you may find things in need of replacement while you're under there. I had two bad ball joints and another on its way out so I replaced all four while I was there. Your end links will likely break when you take them apart so expect to replace those (less than $10). Other than that it's just a bit of hard work. Good luck if you decide to install them on your truck, I love the way they look on mine.

It was listed as limited lifetime for certain shocks but didn't specify by this model .Info after shocks said limited lifetime .Contact monroe for best answer.Other's who bought these said 90 days ?

Honestly it depends on your dealer. Last time I checked though, any changes to the power-train affect its warranty. But as I said, Dealers are paid to do warranty work so if you know some one, it would not be a problem.

Mine has not failed and is working great! I took my vehicle to the dealer to have it installed since they're familiar with the suspension system and the vehicle.

It should help a bit.. They raised my 2 whl drive and inch or so. It looked much better after the install without hurting the ride... The shocks are no harsher than oem

My 2011 Silverado came stock with the wiring underneath the dash. I followed a YouTube video to install this brake controller in my pickup. Piece of cake

I'm not sure if the changed the suspension on the 2014-2015 models but I have this installed on my 2011 and the ride DID change a little. It rides like a truck now. Nothing to complain about but you know you're driving a truck now.

Thank you for your message. This grille will NOT void the factory warranty. It is protected under Federal Law by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. (Click Link Here for details.) Most of our customers are Ford Dealers that actually install this grille on brand new F-150s on their lots to help sell the trucks. We have never had an issue. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

You should do some research online and call some dealerships before you decide. I got mixed answers on both. Ultimately I decided that the concensus was if the problem wasn't caused by the alteration then the warranty was fine. I asked two dealerships and one said it would and one said it wouldn't. It's a tough call.

Yes. If suspension is stock no problem. Any issue I will quickly resolve though

Hi! I need to know what year is it to help you out. Because its a 4x2 I'm assuming that you are not planning to offroad alot so the best you can do IMO is to buy coil spring spacers and new shocks. It will be the cheapest option since I don't think a full suspencion kit for a 4x2 is not money well spent. With something like that you will be able to put bigger tires in the future if you want. Reply me back with the year to see whats available in this pageGerardo.

I've installed this myself. There are instructions included which walk you through activating the unit. It must be installed by an authorized installer to warranty the actual product. If not, the warranty is void. Not a big deal if you know what you're doing and are willing to accept risk.Some vehicles are very simple installs, virtually plug and play. While others are very complex.
