What We Service

Custom suspension is about more than just height—it’s about engineering and performance. Our factory-trained technicians provide comprehensive service and installation, ensuring your vehicle handles properly both on the street and on the trail:

  • Full Suspension Lift Kits: installation of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch kits from top brands like Rough Country, BDS Suspension, Rancho, and Fabtech.

  • Performance Suspension Upgrades: installation of specialized components like coilovers, heavy-duty control arms, traction bars, and custom leaf springs.
  • High-Performance Shocks: upgrading worn factory shocks to premium options from FOX, King, or Bilstein to dramatically improve ride quality and off-road capability.

Lifted Truck Suspension Ball Joint & Control Arm Service

Keep Your Lifted Truck Driving Straight, Smooth, and Safe

Lifted trucks put more stress on suspension components than stock setups—especially ball joints and control arms. Whether you’re daily driving, towing, or hitting trails, these parts take the impact of every bump, turn, and load you put on your vehicle.

At Krietz Auto, we specialize in servicing, inspecting, repairing, and replacing ball joints and control arms specifically for lifted and modified suspension systems. From mild leveling kits to extreme long-travel setups, our technicians understand the demands of aftermarket suspension.


Why Ball Joint & Control Arm Service Matters for Lifted Trucks

When you lift or level a truck, you change the geometry of the front suspension—altering angles, increasing articulation, and putting more load on:

  • Upper and lower ball joints
  • Upper and lower control arms
  • Bushings and pivot points
  • Steering linkage and tie rods

Over time, these parts experience accelerated wear. Ignoring the signs can lead to poor handling, uneven tire wear, and even suspension failure.


Symptoms of Worn Ball Joints or Control Arms

If your lifted truck shows any of these signs, it’s time for service:

  • Clunking or popping noises over bumps
  • Wandering or loose steering
  • Vibrations at highway speeds
  • Uneven or rapid tire wear
  • Squeaking when turning
  • Excessive play in the wheel or suspension
  • Vehicle pulling left or right
  • Visible damage to ball joint boots or control arm bushings

Early diagnosis saves you money—and keeps your truck safer on and off the road.
