I looked at the leveling kits that Kore Kit's offer's and I cannot find one for the 2010 1500. They have one for the 2500's but not the 1500's. Due you have a link to the one that you are refering to?

Pricey???? That is freakin highway robbery. No way I would pay that kind of money for that kind of lift, they must be nuts! The Mopar one is the same price and you keep your warranty. That is just crazy!!!

Actually that kit is not out of line for what you are getting. Ever price just a billet control arm? How about Chromoly CV assemblies? Take it from someone who's changed out a CV in the woods (not my own thank goodness), I wish I could get chromoly CV assemblies for my '04 and I don't do anything harsher than hog hunt off road!

That is a hard core off road racing kit capable of adjustment from stock height to 3.5", anywhere in between and back again.

The only problem with that kit is 99.67 percent of the people don't need it...

Exactly my point, they are limiting themselves to a very small market.

This kit does address what seems to be the problems with the other level kits. Shuttering in 4x, probably from the CV joints and the wearing out the upper ball joints seem to be a common complaint.

I have to admit I went back through and looked at the kit again and read everything. I agree that is covers everything and it is a good kit but I stick to my original complaint of you can buy the Mopar kit for the same price and keep your factory warranty. Seems like if I am going to spend that much money I might as well get the kit that allows me to keep my warranty. now one might say "I do not want a 4"lift" I only want 2 inches then you would have an argument but in reality it is two inches, I think I would just get the four from Mopar and be done with it. Just my 2 cents.

Are you sure the Mopar kit allows you to keep your warranty? I had a chat with the Mopar aftermarket guy at my local dealership and he pointed out that the kit is a Performance type kit and that this means that there is no warranty on it. He even showed me the Mopar terms and conditions and I qoute:
'parts are sold as is'
'entire risk...is with the buyer'
'should parts prove defective.....buyer assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing and or repair'
'the addition of performance parts does not by itself void a vehicles warranty, However, adding performance parts are not covered by the vehicles warranty and any failure that they may cause is not covered by the vehicles warranty'
