What We Install
Four categories cover almost every job that comes through the door. Which one is right depends on the tire you want to run and how the truck gets driven.
Spacer / Budget Lift
Strut spacers and rear blocks. Cost-effective clearance for bigger tires without replacing the whole suspension.
Common onMost trucks and SUVs with strut front ends
Suspension Lift
New knuckles, control arms, springs, and shocks. This is a real geometry change, and it's the one that most needs correcting afterward.
Common onTrucks and Jeeps running 35s and up
Coilover Conversion
Ride height and damping you can dial in. Common on prerunner-style builds and anything that sees both freeway and dirt.

Six Things a Lift Changes
Bolting the kit on is the easy half. These are the six things we check afterward, because every one of them is a callback waiting to happen.
Alignment specs
Caster, camber, and toe all move. Driving on the old settings feathers the new tires and makes the steering feel loose at freeway speed.
Upper control arms
Past about 3 inches, the factory arms often can't get caster back into spec. Aftermarket UCAs or adjustable arms are the fix, and we quote them before we start.
Brake lines and ABS wiring
Both have a finite length. We check droop at full extension so nothing gets pulled tight over a driveway dip.
Speedometer accuracy
Bigger tires make the speedometer read slow and throw the odometer off. We'll tell you how far off you are and whether the vehicle can be recalibrated.
Driveline angle
Rear lift changes pinion angle. On some trucks that means a vibration you'll feel at 55 mph if it isn't addressed.
Wheel and tire fitment
Lift alone doesn't guarantee clearance. Backspacing and offset decide whether the tire rubs at full lock, and we check both before ordering.
How the job runs
Four Steps, No Surprises
- 01
Inspection and plan
We look at what's on the truck now, what tire you want to run, and how you actually drive it. Then we quote the kit, the labor, and anything the lift will force — hardware included.
- 02
Installation
Kit goes on at either Long Beach shop. If we find a worn ball joint or bushing while we're in there, you get a call before we do anything about it.
- 03
Alignment on the rack
Every lift we install gets aligned at Cherry Ave to specs appropriate for the new ride height — not the factory sheet for a stock truck.
- 04
Road test
We drive it. Steering centered, no pull, no vibration, no rub at full lock. If something isn't right, it comes back on the rack before you take it.

Finish the Build
- Lifted truck alignment — the specs a lifted vehicle actually needs, from $145.
- Coilover installation — adjustable height and damping instead of a fixed lift.
- Truck wheels — the offset and backspacing that decide whether the tire rubs.
- All-terrain tires — the sizes we fit most on lifted trucks and Jeeps.
- Jeep service — lift, tires, wheels, and front end for Wranglers and Gladiators.
Common questions
Lift Kit FAQs
It depends entirely on the kit and the vehicle — a 2-inch leveling kit on a half-ton is a very different job than a 6-inch suspension lift on a three-quarter-ton. Bring the vehicle in or call with the year, make, model, and the kit you're considering, and we'll quote parts and labor before anything is ordered. We don't start work on a number you haven't approved.
Yes, we install customer-supplied kits. What we ask is that the kit is complete and correct for your vehicle before your appointment — a missing bracket turns a one-day job into a three-day one. If you're not sure the kit is right, bring it by and we'll check the contents against your truck.
Yes, every time. A lift changes caster, camber, and toe, and new tires on bad alignment wear unevenly within a few thousand miles. Lifted alignments start at $145 and are performed on the rack at our Cherry Ave location.
A modest leveling kit on a stock strut usually rides close to factory. Bigger lifts change ride quality more, and the shocks you choose matter more than the height. We'll be straight with you about the tradeoff before you commit — a daily-driven truck and a weekend truck deserve different answers.
Yes. We work with four financing partners, Snap Finance among them, and a lift plus wheels and tires is exactly the kind of job people finance. Applications take a few minutes at the counter. Approval and terms are subject to credit qualification.
A leveling kit is often same-day. A full suspension lift usually needs the vehicle for a day or more, especially if it needs upper control arms or the alignment reveals worn parts underneath. We give you a realistic window when we quote, and we call you if it changes.
