If you’ve been thinking about lifting your RAM 1500, 2500, or 3500, you’ve probably run into the same question every truck owner asks:

“Will this void my warranty?”

The short answer: No, a lift kit by itself does NOT automatically void your RAM warranty.
But there are some details worth understanding so you’re not guessing when something needs service later.

Here’s What the Law Says

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects you from having a warranty denied just because you added aftermarket parts.

RAM can only deny warranty coverage if they can show the lift kit caused the problem.

So if your radio stops working, RAM can’t blame your 4-inch lift.
If your alternator dies, the lift isn’t the culprit.

Where issues can come up is when suspension, steering, or driveline components fail — because those systems are touched when lifting a truck.

Factory-Approved Upfitters = Extra Protection

This is where buying from a certified outfit like:

• Rocky Ridge

• SCA Performance

• RMT Overland

…makes a big difference. Their trucks often come with supplemental warranties that cover lift-related components, and they build everything using approved engineering and installation methods.

When you buy a lifted truck through an authorized RAM dealer like Sherry 4×4, it works more like a factory partnership, not a random aftermarket job.

When a Lift Can Affect Warranty Claims

There are a few situations where RAM might deny coverage:

• Damage caused by incorrect installation
• Steering or suspension components stressed beyond spec
• Driveline issues resulting from extreme angles
• Electronic stability control faults tied to oversized tires

This is why choosing the right lift height, parts, and installer matters. A professionally engineered 4-inch lift with proper geometry is far safer than a low-budget 6–8 inch kit thrown on without recalibration.

What About the Powertrain Warranty?

RAM won’t cancel your entire powertrain warranty because of a lift kit. But if you added huge tires or extreme suspension angles that contribute to:

• Axle failure
• Driveshaft vibration
• Transmission strain

…they may link those issues to the modification.

A smart build avoids these problems from the start and that’s been Sherry 4×4’s approach for years.

So How Do You Protect Your Warranty?

Here’s what we recommend:

• Use a reputable brand with proven engineering. Rocky Ridge and SCA aren’t just “bolt-on” companies.
• Choose a dealership that specializes in lifted trucks. We document every step for warranty protection.
• Match lift height to real use. A 4-inch lift with 35s stays well within safe geometry.
• Get speedometer and safety system recalibrations. This helps avoid electronic faults that can trigger warranty debates.

Bottom Line

A lift kit done right won’t void your RAM warranty.
A lift kit done poorly might cause headaches.

If you’re planning to lift your truck (or want a lifted RAM with full peace of mind) Sherry 4×4 is the safest path. We work directly with top upfitters and provide trucks that stay protected long after you leave the lot.
