Lifted Vehicle Alignment Service FAQ
1. Do lift kits require a special type of wheel alignment?
Yes. Lift kits change suspension geometry, so lifted vehicles require a custom alignment that accounts for caster changes, tire size, and steering angle correction.
2. How often should I align my lifted truck or SUV?
Every 6–12 months, or sooner if you off-road, install new suspension parts, or notice handling changes.
3. Can a regular mechanic align a lifted truck?
Most cannot. Lifted alignments require advanced knowledge, adjustable components, and experience with non-OEM suspension geometry — which is why owners choose Dale’s Auto Service.
4. Will a proper alignment fix wandering or drifting on the highway?
Yes. Wandering is usually caused by incorrect caster or improper lift-kit setup. Our specialist fixes this daily.
5. Can bigger tires cause alignment issues?
Absolutely. Wider, heavier tires increase stress on suspension angles and must be compensated for through precise alignment.

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.
