Default 2017 RT Lifted 2.5" Rocky Road

I just had installed a 2.5" lift kit from Rocky Road. I kept my original 20" rims and went with 275/55 R20s. 1.5" taller and 4/10" wider. No rubbing. Over all a solid 3" more clearance to the rockers and front spoiler.

Brush Guard / Push Bumper is a Setina Fender Guard PB-6 purchased from Police Supply. Only one I found made for the Durango. Kind of annoying because most people in front of me slow way down. I also get a lot of waves from cops, city workers, etc.

Dealer installed for $1100 including alignment. I have a 10 year / 100k warranty so I wanted it done by the same dealer I purchased it from. The dealer blew out the computer when installing this lift. They replaced it free of charge. They said they had to unplug it to reroute the wiring cable.

Warning!!! If you do it yourself I would make sure the battery is disconnected first before unplugging the computer. I'm not sure the dealer is going to honor the warranty if you messed with the computer connection.

Looks GREAT! I'm surprised they installed that and are willing to let you retain your warranty.

Looks good and very solid looking too. And it does have that law enforcement look to it.
I would get out of your way if you came up on me fast.
Also, glad to read your dealership stepped up and took responsibility for their mistake.
There is still hope for all us owners when we have dealings with a FCA dealership.

I believe by law they can't void a warranty and have to prove that the after factory part was directly responsible for the part failure. They can give you trouble though if not on board. This is a big enough dealer, I'm sure they just file the claims with dodge/mopar and don't tell them lifted it. They offer small 3" lifts for their jeeps and trucks as well. They also outsource their after factory warranty.

Good deal. Yeah if they put it in I guess they'd have a hard time denying your warranty claim! Very rare these days though. Looks great. I never intended to lift my Durango but the thought is creeping in...
