Ever hear of a dealer installing aftermarket lift kits ? My dealer said no way only Mopar parts. I just wonder if other dealers do ? Went to a local lift install shop and it looked just a tad to shady for me to let them work on it… looked like hammer and plier guys at best !!

Dealers have the option to do what they want, but most will only install Mopar parts, especially if they have to order it.

I have seen this. 3rd party lift, rims and tires. Just make sure there is a warranty. Dealer found a Rubicon for me on another lot. 3.5" lift and 37's. But they did not change gears. Still had the 4.10's ☹

Dewey in Ankeny will - they sell non-MOPAR wheels and lift parts in their accessories department and often have a Jeep on the lot with some of that stuff installed - on a new vehicle.

The parts have their own factory warranty and the dealers cover the labor warranty.
So, if something fails because of an installation issue, the installing dealer must handle it.
If something fails due to a lift kit part - that's the maker of that part to take care of.
