Stay away from blocks and spacers if you can.

What brand AAL, I have not heard good things on some including the dealer didn't recommend. Are you happy with AAL

Any brand really. I have Wheelers progressive AAL and Icon makes the same thing but for more money.

The dealer will also put spacers and blocks on a brand new truck and charge you 10K extra because it has fugly wheels and noisy mud-terrains on it. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Then say it's under factory warranty vs going with something else will void warranty.

Yep, they’ll argue about Toytecs, TC and Dakar’s because they didn’t put it on, (refused to install actually) but they approve of and Install Daystar leveling kits,... at least 7 years ago in Reno that was the case.

Certain dealers are just ****. It's all about money instead of customer service. I've heard of some covering big warranty issues outside of warranty. It creates customer loyalty but for some that is overrated.

The dealership where I live now is actually really nice to work with and really nice people that actually know their stuff. I just communicate with them and they give great service. Such a relief! Haha!

I was close to doing the BDS fox 6 inch lift but decided to hold off longer since I've already invested in the front lift. I went to 4 Wheel Parts thought about lifting the rear about 1 to 1.5 since I lifted the front 2.25 and the rep told me to add a block I was shocked he would even recommend that. Would I get that lift I want with AALs. I honestly love the bro lean look and want to keep it as much as I can so what would you think would be better?

So is it all about if the particular dealer will Warrenty a taco with a lift?

Yes... some work better with you on issues then others.
They will not want to fix any parts that replaced OEM parts or effected by the parts replaced. They have to prove that the aftermarket parts you put on caused the issues you’re having. It doesn’t void the entire warranty.
