I have an 03 F250 Powerstroke. What is the biggest lift I can put on without voiding my factory warranty?? I know it is different for different dealers.

a dealer has very little to do with your warranty....ford makes that call.....
the magnusson-moss warranty act states that a manufacturer can not blanket void a warranty anyway....only the parts you replace with aftermarket parts are voided automatically.....and say for example your engine fails....ford has to prove that the lift kit was the cause of the warranty failure. hope that helps

Yeah, you're just gonna void the stuff you replaced and corresponding parts. Like if you put a blower on your car and up the boost past it's recommended limit and keep blowing head gaskets, warranty will eventually not cover it.

gotta watch out...

Ford will BS you. I have read of guys with 8" lifts and ford voided the whole powertrain warranty when a guy had a tranny problem. They stated that the driveline angle was messed up due to the lift and voided the whole powertrain warrranty.. talk about BS
