if you do a leveling kit be prepared to replace all front end u joints as the angle that they rotate on will change and they dont last long
Rams have a solid front axle not a independant front end. the only angle thats going to change is the joint from the transfer case to front axle and the front joint out the trans.

The only angle that will change is caster. which is the angle of the upper and lower ball joint centerline. neg angle can cause death wobble. but nothing a alignment shop cant fix.

diggerdave, i guess to answer you question, will they void the warranty. sure! its a non factory part installed with changes the geometery of the suspension. finding a dealership that is willing to look the other way on small stuff like that is the way to go.

look at it like this. you install a set of awesome 20x10's with 35's and you leveling kit. now you have a front wheelbearing going out. the front leveling kit wouldnt cause a wheel bearing issue, but the wheels would. they dont have to replace or repair because of the wheels being wide and more strain on the bearings.. i hope you understand.

a lot of us believe the motto "pay to play".

im looking at them too, and weighing the pros and cons..
