If you ask Ford, the answer will of course be - anything you do to your car that isn't Ford will void the warranty. For a long time they would even tell you that getting an oil change anywhere but the dealer would also void the warranty.
The real answer - which we can extrapolate from court cases and CAMVAP claims outcomes is that the only way an aftermarket part can "void" the warranty is if the damage was specifically caused by the aftermarket part; and even then it's on a case by case basis - your whole warranty is never voided.
So if you lower your car and you have an engine problem that's covered by the warranty, Ford has no cause to deny the claim.
If, on the other hand you lower your suspension and your stock sway bar link breaks, then yeah - Ford could legitimately deny your claim ... but that's not the same as voiding your warranty.
