No, but maybe someone who is considering modifying a new warranted vehicle may like to know the answer to my question given that Ford would red flag that VIN.
Check out Vision wheels. They used what looks exactly like Vision Rockers on some of them.
Magnuson Moss Warranty Act of 1975 says modifying a car does not red flag it. The manufacturer must demonstrate how the modifications caused the failure to get out of their warranty obligations. Now granted a spacer is a direct contribution to cv failure, and they won't fix that, but it does not "red flag" a car and absolve Ford of all warranty claims.
As an Amsoil dealer, I am familiar with the Moss Act. I never said that it would absolve Ford from future claims but a prior denied claim due to a modification will follow that VIN. Hows that.
Thanks. Yep the rockers are the ones I like. It looks like only +12 or -12 offset for those rims. I wonder if -12 would be too much poke for a SAS Bronco (35in tire) without a leveling or lift kit.
Okay, since you're just acting out of a sense of duty to your fellow board members, Ill answer for you: No lift company in existence is going to warranty parts that fail due to increased wear due to increased CV angles...but you knew that.
I bought the 18x9 -12 rockers and the BFGs for my FE. Based on all the research I've done, it is a little bit of poke but not too much for my taste and should fit without a lift/level... those squatch flares are wider than people think, and moving up to a 9" wide wheel cuts a bit off the poke as well (a -12 offset 8.5 inch wheel has more poke than a -12 offset 9 inch wheel based on the calculators I've used). That said, I also did buy the Stage 1 Kit. I'm a 75% "mallcrawler" 25" light offroader (basically driving dirt roads to get to fly fishing spots) so I don't need high performance.
Yeah in theory, but have fun in court where even if you win, you still lose time, effort and actually getting the party to comply could be a whole other challenge.
I'm not at all sure that is true.
Thanks. I'm in the same boat, more or less a mallcrawler too. I am still trying to decide between the RTR +0 offset and switch out to regular flares or go -12 and keep the squatch flares. Either way I'm probably doing a 1 inch leveling kit and going with Nitto Grapplers.
I don't get that...if the mod didn't cause the problem, then it gets covered. There is no grand problem out there of dealers not doing warranty work because of unrelated mods. These hypotheticals about going to court to battle for it aren't reality. Do people occasionally get screwed? Yes, but rarely. Mod your vehicle all you want. If the mod casues a problem, it's on you. If it doesn't, it will get covered.Yeah in theory, but have fun in court where even if you win, you still lose time, effort and actually getting the party to comply could be a whole other challenge.
I've been there with Harley. Their techs flow chart specifically states to deny warranty & the Vin# gets flagged in their system as such. I stopped short of going to court because Vance & Hines stood up for their product & saved me a bigger headache. Can't say enough about Vance & Hines customer service & have their products on all of my bikes because of it. YMMV
I don’t remember attacking their product. Because I didn’t, but you knew that. I asked a fair question, and unless you represent Maxlider, It hasn’t been answered.
