I was at the dealership today for a few things, and I thought I'd have a chat and bond with their service manager.
Intelligent guy. Hes been working at the Chrysler dealership for 21 years, 10 years as a tech/mechanic, and 11 years as their service manager- all at the SAME dealer.
So I asked him about wheels and suspension, as I am on the edge of getting a set. He said that they can't void my warranty just because they know I have a lowering kit. Along with that, he said that if I lower the car, the factory shocks should not crap out. He said if I get lowering springs from Mopar, and the shocks go out after x amount of miles or x amount of months, they will be more lenient as far as working on the car (warranty work) than if it was lowering springs from eibach, for example. He said its just easier to deal with it since its Mopar approved. Also, as far as the prooving thing goes, he said that they'd have to proove that the factory shocks gave out from lowering the car.
As far as him and I go, Im conviced that if I put Mopar springs on factory shocks, and if the shocks go out, I will be covered. However, Im not convinced on Mopar springs because they only lower you an inch.
