Lifted Vehicle Alignment Service FAQ
1. Do lifted vehicles need a special wheel alignment?
Yes. Lifting alters caster, camber, toe, and steering geometry. A standard alignment cannot correct these changes. A lifted alignment specialist ensures proper drivability and tire wear.
2. How often should I align a lifted truck or SUV?
Every 12 months or anytime suspension work is done (lift kits, control arms, tie rods, shocks, etc.). Larger tires may require more frequent alignments.
3. Can you align aftermarket suspension and oversized tires?
Absolutely. We specialize in custom suspension systems, aftermarket control arms, long-travel kits, and 35–40” tires.
4. Will a lifted alignment improve handling and safety?
Yes. Proper alignment reduces wandering, improves stability, enhances braking, and extends the life of tires and suspension components.
5. Do you work on all makes & models?
Yes — domestic, import, diesel, hybrid & electric. If it’s lifted, we can align it.

Pre-Alignment Checklist:
Before bringing your car in for alignment, please ensure the following:
- Confirm that the steering and suspension are in safe, proper working condition.
- Check that the front tie rods are not seized, as we do not use heat to free them up.
- Inspect ball joints, bushings, and tie rods for signs of wear or play.
- Ensure bearings are not loose or worn, and there are no leaking struts or shocks.
- Verify the steering box for minor play, and ensure tires are safe for driving.
- The vehicle must be capable of running under its own power.
- If the vehicle underwent restoration, ensure all work has been double-checked by the facility/person responsible. If unsure, book a steering/suspension re-torque before the alignment appointment.
- We will proceed with the alignment once the vehicle passes our inspection
Please note, should any components fail inspection, there will be a charge for the inspection as our technicians invest time in this process. We aim to avoid wasting your time and money by addressing these issues upfront.
Please request a steering and suspension inspection if you do not know the condition of your vehicle.
Thorough inspections and prioritize safety to prevent any future issues.
