  I only trust dales for a proper assessment of anything that is wrong with my truck. I had gone to the dealer a week before and the amount of things they missed was shocking.  They really do take the time to give a proper report and provide the correct and full diagnosis the first time .  Highly recommend dales to everyone.

  My wife had obtained two estimates on her Subaru to get bering work done which seemed a bit high and work that was not required was included in both. I suggested she try Dale’s and she was at their quick response and price. The work was performed by Dale’s to her complete satisfaction. We will both be getting our work done there in the future. Happy customers, Elfie & Gary

  Had a issue with my car after I lowered it and added a few other parts. I needed to get it done asap because i had my dads celebration of life fast approaching and needed it fixed asap. I was able to get it in rite away and they were able to find the issue, install some parts I had and get the alignment done all before my trip. After the work was done the techs that fixed it spent a few mins telling me what they had to do to get it fixed and suggestions on other things I could do to help with a bit of rubbing i was having. Friendly staff and quality work.

Professional Alignment for Lifted Trucks, SUVs & Off-Road Builds — Dale’s Auto Service

Lifted vehicles need far more than a basic “toe adjustment.” At Dale’s Auto Service in Langley, our certified alignment specialist Jeff performs precision lifted-vehicle wheel alignments using advanced equipment designed for trucks, SUVs, off-road rigs, overland builds, leveling kits, and full suspension upgrades.

Whether you drive a lifted Tacoma, Jeep, RAM, F-150, Bronco, Silverado, 4Runner, diesel truck, or custom off-road build, Dale’s provides the best mechanical expertise near you for optimal stability, handling, and tire longevity.

As the best auto service shop in the Lower Mainland, we service all makes & models, including EVs, hybrids, and modified vehicles.

Why Lifted Vehicles Require Specialized Alignments

Standard alignment settings don’t work on lifted suspension systems. Spacers, coilovers, control arms, and larger wheel/tire packages drastically change:

Camber, caster & toe geometry
Steering center & return-to-center feel
Suspension angles & articulation
Wheel scrub radius & stability
Tire wear patterns

A lifted vehicle aligned incorrectly will experience:
✓ Rapid tire wear
✓ Steering pull or wander
✓ Poor highway stability
✓ Bump steer
✓ Increased fuel consumption

Our specialist ensures your setup is aligned to the correct geometry for your lift, not generic OEM specs.

Lifted Vehicle Alignment Service FAQ

1. Do lifted vehicles need special alignment specs?

Yes. Lifts alter suspension geometry, and using stock specs can damage tires and cause poor handling. We set custom specs based on your lift height and components.

2. How often should a lifted truck or SUV be aligned?

Every 6–12 months, or immediately after installing a lift, new tires, new UCAs, or any steering or suspension components.

3. Can you align trucks with oversized tires?

Absolutely. We align vehicles running 33s, 35s, 37s and larger, including aftermarket wheels and long-travel kits.

4. Will an alignment fix steering wander on my lifted truck?

In many cases, yes. Steering wander is often due to incorrect caster settings — which we correct during a professional lifted-vehicle alignment.

5. Do you align all makes & models, including EVs?

Yes — gas, diesel, hybrid, and EV vehicles. If it’s lifted or modified, 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.
