You only void the warranty on the components you alter, and with a lift... it'd go towards anything touching the suspension I'd imagine.
Small price to pay I suppose.

And steering and braking and any computer controlled components that will freak out with the larger tire size as well.... And drivetrain; the lift will stress any half shafts, u-joints, etc.

Very true, the speedo is really the biggest issue, brakes may wear prematurely, with the combo I suggested, the extra $ saved can be used towards a tuner that will allow you to reprogram your ECU based on the tire size......... but that will void the warranty........ I know people who just re-flash to stock when bringing it in for service, that's not a recommendation, just an observation (just covering my tush haha).And steering and braking and any computer controlled components that will freak out with the larger tire size as well.

But then I might as well replace the struts, and rear shocks...maybe get shocks with helper springs...just because...
I don't really want giant tires...but I should get better rotors and pads...and while I'm here might as well change all the fluids...only two differentials and a transfer gear box...transmission...brakes fluid...oh and there's a bit of unsightly rust on parts of the frame I really should attend to that...now I'm looking at a long weekends worth of work and I don't even have an off road permit...

I think I may do a level over a lift... however RMS does not do levels, they only want to do lifts... but I can't wing their $7k+ price tag.

Ohh stop... some of us don't have the tools/knowledge/time to do all that.

Thats funny because the first time I ever went into RMS, I wanted to run a wider tire and slight offset on my 2013 F350 SRW for a more aggressive look without raising the height in the rear because I tow a gooseneck horse trailer. They told me it couldnt be done without a leveling kit, and of course would do that for me. I went to The Truck Shop and they told me I did not need a leveling kit, they do them every day and I would be 100% fine. All the contradictions is another reason why I prefer to do things myself.

a leveling kit just adds spacers on that truck and is the cheap way to go. you'll be paying down the road for all of the worn suspension parts.
I have a 6" suspension lift on my truck that i installed myself. when i did the lift i did all new bushings, stage 3 tie rods, new a-arms, shocks, etc..... I even put my airlift in the rear for towing again. The truck rides better than new. Im also running 37's on it and there is zero play in the steering, no shakes, wobbles or anything of the sort. Its a 2500hd and it rides like a cadillac now.
I've also had friends who used TNT and truck shop, in my opinion their work is overpriced and not very good. they did a friends truck because he was too lazy to do it himself and when he got it back they used all of the old bushings for the A-arms and everything else. The truck is now a squeaky rattle box.
another thing. there are a ton of lifts out there from rough country, fab tech, tuff country, zone, etc........ i would pretty much guarantee that if you layed out all the pieces from each manufacturer you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I've done a bunch of these and you're paying for the name.
contact SD spring in ronkonkoma, there prices are the cheapest around. they will also match any competitors price if you find it cheaper which i doubt. your 150 should be very straight forward to do. you won't have the hassle of getting torsion bars removed that are stuck in place or trying to break keys free.

You forgot, insane rent, insane workmans comp and liability as wellTrue. But remember, part of that $10,000 a day they are trying to make ( I know, it's ridiculous) is to pay the insane taxes they have to pay.

I emailed that place in NJ someone recommended and I'll see if those guys in Bay Shore can handle my project.
Any other places out there you guys recommend?

I installed 2 of F150 level kit.
Few of them F150 w/ 2" auto spring level kit it fits 35"
My truck F150 with 1.5" level kit autos print it fits 33.3" with no problem.
I use my truck for beach.
Inbox me I can help you to install the level kit.
Auto spring is the best. It's steel, powder coating it's only about $130-145
I usually go to F 150 online com forum
