Lift Kits & Leveling in Long Beach, CA

A lift or leveling kit changes every angle in the front end. We install the kit and then align the truck in the same visit, because a lifted truck that pulls or wears tires is not the result anyone is after.

Signs it is time

When to bring it in

  • You want the front raised to match the rear (leveling)
  • You are moving to bigger tires
  • Your truck sits nose-down with a load
  • A previous lift left the steering off-center
  • You hear new noises since a lift was installed
  • You want more ground clearance for work or trips
The Long Beach angle. Plenty of the trucks in West Long Beach work for a living, so we pay attention to load and towing, not just looks. Leveling kits are the most common request, since most trucks leave the factory sitting lower in front than in back.
How we do it

Our lift kits & leveling process

Plan the build

We talk about how you use the truck, tire size and the kit you want, and give you a price for parts, install and alignment.

Install the kit

We fit the kit, torque everything to spec and check brake lines, sway bar links and steering stops.

Align for the new height

Every lift gets an alignment for its new ride height so it steers straight and wears tires evenly.

FAQ

Lift Kits & Leveling questions

What is the difference between a leveling kit and a lift kit?

A leveling kit raises the front so the truck sits level with the rear. A lift kit raises the whole truck for more clearance and bigger tires.

Do I need an alignment after a lift kit?

Yes, every time. Raising a truck changes camber, caster and toe, so we align it in the same visit.

Can I bring my own lift kit?

Call us first with the brand and part number. We will tell you whether we can install it and what the labor and alignment will cost.

Will a lift kit affect how my truck drives?

Some change is normal, but a properly installed and aligned kit should still steer straight and feel planted. That is what we set it up to do.

How long does a leveling kit install take?

A basic leveling kit with alignment is often done the same day. Larger lifts can take longer, and we give you a time estimate with the quote.

Do you fix problems from a lift someone else installed?

Yes. We diagnose pulls, clunks and uneven tire wear on lifted trucks and correct the setup or alignment.
