Default If I lower my car....

on stock bolts, will my dealer still be able to service it and will it effect the warranty? If yes, will it still be a yes, if I were to cut the bushings and/or put longer bolts?

Yes

No

why would you cut them?? also it takes time for the car to settle so don't cut them right away..also Z51 cars are a bit different than regular as far as finished look because of stiffer suspension

Does not void the warrenty, However a freind of mine has some suspention probs, and went to have them repaired under warrenty. They tried to blame the lowering as the problem, so he had to pay $200 to have the car raised, then they preformed the repairs

With my cut bushings and longer bolts the air dam has to be removed to get the car on the alignment rack which the dealer charged extra for.
