Lifted Truck Alignment Services

Precision Alignment for Lifted, Leveled, and Modified Trucks

Lifting a truck changes everything about its suspension geometry — from camber and caster to toe angles and steering feel. At our shop, we specialize in alignment services built specifically for lifted and off-road trucks, ensuring your vehicle drives straight, handles safely, and protects your suspension investment.


Why Lifted Trucks Need Special Alignment Care

Truck lifts and leveling kits introduce unique challenges that standard alignment shops often aren’t equipped to handle. Incorrect angles can cause:

  • Uneven tire wear
  • Wandering or drifting while driving
  • Vibration or bump steer
  • Premature wear on ball joints, tie rods, and bushings
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Reduced off-road performance

Whether you’re running oversized tires, aftermarket control arms, or a multi-inch suspension lift, your truck requires precise alignment customized to your setup.


What Our Lifted Truck Alignment Includes

✔ Full Suspension & Steering Inspection

Before adjusting anything, we inspect all key components for wear or stress—critical for trucks with modified geometry.

✔ Custom Alignment Angles

Lifted trucks don’t use factory specifications. We apply lift-appropriate angles designed for stability, tire longevity, and responsive steering.

✔ Caster Correction for Lifted Trucks

Lifting reduces caster, often causing wandering or poor straight-line tracking. We restore proper caster using:

  • Aftermarket upper control arms
  • Caster-adjustable bushings
  • Offset ball joints (when applicable)

✔ Toe and Camber Adjustments

Accurate toe and camber settings are essential for avoiding tire cupping and shoulder wear on oversized tires.

✔ Steering Centering & Calibration

We ensure your steering wheel sits correctly and the truck drives straight—no pulling, drifting, or steering lag.

✔ Adjustments for Oversized Tires & Off-Road Use

We set up your alignment based on your driving style:

  • Daily driving
  • Towing
  • Off-roading
  • Highway performance

⚙ Custom Solutions for Every Build

Every lifted truck is different. We tailor the alignment to the actual suspension parts installed, not just factory specs.

🚚 Any Lift Height or Tire Size

From small leveling kits to 10-inch lift trucks with 40s, we’ve aligned them all.


Signs Your Lifted Truck Needs an Alignment

  • Truck pulls left or right
  • Steering feels loose or unstable
  • Uneven or rapid tire wear
  • Steering wheel sits off-center
  • Vibrations at higher speeds
  • Suspension or steering components wear prematurely

If you’ve recently installed a lift or new tires, you should schedule an alignment immediately.


How Often Should You Align a Lifted Truck?

  • After any suspension modification
  • After installing new tires or wheels
  • Every 6–12 months, depending on usage
  • More frequently for off-road or rough-terrain driving

Routine alignments protect your investment and extend the life of your tires and suspension.
