A lift kit changes your truck's geometry, ride quality, and capabilities. Getting the installation right — and the post-lift alignment right — is as important as choosing the right lift.

Lift Kits We Install
Leveling Kits
A leveling kit (1–2 inch spacers) levels the front of the truck to match the rear. Does not require a control arm upgrade or significant alignment correction on most applications. From $199.99 installed (kit supplied by customer) or $299.99 with kit.
Body Lifts
A body lift raises the body off the frame to clear larger tires without changing suspension geometry. Less effective than a suspension lift but less expensive. From $399.99 installed.
Suspension Lift Kits — 2–6 Inch
Full suspension lift kits change the control arm geometry and require post-lift alignment with caster correction. We install Rough Country, Fabtech, BDS, ReadyLift, SuperLift, and all major brands. From $499.99 labor (customer-supplied kit).
Long-Travel and High-End Lifts
Icon, Fox, King, Total Chaos — we install premium lift systems with reservoir shocks and extended upper control arms. Pricing by kit and vehicle.
Post-Lift Alignment — Always Required
Factory Specs No Longer Apply
After any suspension lift, factory alignment specifications are incorrect. The geometry has changed. We perform custom alignment to specifications appropriate for the lifted height — including caster correction which is critical for steering feel and tire wear on lifted trucks.
Hunter Hawkeye Elite
All post-lift alignments use the Hunter Hawkeye Elite system. Printed before-and-after report showing exact caster, camber, toe, and thrust angle measurements. $199.99/hr, 2-hour minimum.
Tire and Wheel Upgrades
Tire Sizing After Lift
We advise on maximum tire size for each lift height and vehicle. Larger tires affect speedometer calibration and gear ratio — we discuss these implications before installation.
