i call BS on the part of that dealer, you cant void a warrenty on a whole vehicle with just a leafspring shackle and t bar crank, i had a leaf break and my warrenty probably would not cover it since i had shackles installed, i can understand that but i went to a good spring shop to get it fixed, but if something else breaks thats not even suspension related and they say you have calmini shackles, they cant fix it is complete BS, they have to prove that the aftermarket piece affected the part that broke

the dealers,(well around here at least) dont like aftermarket, they wont even touch the truck if theres aftermarket parts usually so i dont know if you gonna have much luck with them, personally i'd say screw the dealer and warrenty for that part of the truck and just do it, but thats just me, its your truck, they'll prolly tell you more BS, but you might have a good dealer...good luck [Wave]

Lets put it this way...the Stealerships look for ANY excuse to get paid for repairs/not honor your warranty.

Some are more honest than others, and we have some mechanics, etc on this site that work at said stealerships that I would trust...but the great majority of them that I've been in contact with, including the Stealership my X came from, look to screw you.

My dealer said if I put a different brand of tire on it or went off road, it would void my warranty.

I called BS, and, the LAW stipulates that they CANNOT void your warranty because of a mod, merely refuse to repair the mod, or something they they can PROVE failed due to the mod.

So - As the Shackle for example will not likely cause your windows to fail, they are shit out of luck trying to make their "Your warranty is VOID" claims stick....THEY ARE LYING TO YOU.

You mean like they were called stealerships in this thread a week ago in the post just above yours?

So is that shackles only or is that with the AAL? Did you crank the front up? Are those 32's?

Nice looking dog, BTW.

Yea, those are the calmini shackles and a torsion bar crank in the front to level it out. No AAL. It also has a 2" body lift, we put on a few months earlier.

Those are 32" (P265/75/16) Super Swamper TrXus MTs on stock wheels. I plan on moving up to 33" once those wear out.

Thx, but it's my friend's dog (she's a siberian husky). He showed me how to do the shackle install / did most of the work. This is my first 4x4, but between the shackles and body lift install, I'm learning a hell of a lot about the mechanics of my truck and having an awesome time thanks to the local xterra club.

Looks great!

I just ordered my shackles from Calmini this afternoon. Once they arrive they'll be added.

Great job!
