Default Before I Buy New...questions about whether to add a leveling kit or not

I'm buying new to take advantage of the warranty. I've been burnt pretty bad on very expensive repairs on used trucks. However, I really like how a Silverado/ sierra 1500 looks with a leveling kit and slightly larger tires/rims. I'm aware that getting the after market leveling kits can cause some dealerships to not honor the warranty and just blame it on the new parts causing the problem.

If I buy a truck pre-modified by a dealer (i.e. rocky ridge packages), I'll be overpaying. However, I'll get the same warranty as a non-lifted new truck through that specific dealership (no hassles because of aftermarket mods).

If I buy a truck stock and add a leveling kit / bigger tires-rims / more aggressive exhaust, etc., I'll void nearly all warranties.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?

Do some dealerships do a leveling kit job themselves and because they provide the parts and services, honor the 3-year 36k, 5-year 60k warranties?
