FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the differences between a Leveling Kit, a Suspension Lift and a Body Lift?2024-09-11T15:06:34-05:00

In stock form, the rear of your truck sits higher than the front.

A Leveling Kit typically lifts the front height of your truck to match the rear, but some will slightly raise the rear as well. Leveling Kits are more affordable than Suspension Lifts and come in many forms, such as strut spacers, torsion keys, lift struts, or extended coils.

A Suspension Lift will lift both the front and the rear of the vehicle. Suspension Lifts will allow you to lift your truck 3 inches or higher, whereas a leveling kit will usually be less than 3 inches of lift in the front. Because of the increased height, Suspension Lifts contain more parts to compensate for the change in front-end geometry, and also have a higher cost. There are several different types of Suspension Lifts, but the most common for Independent Front Suspension (IFS) are Coilover Lifts and Air Ride Lifts. Your vehicle type, desired tire size and budget will affect the Suspension Lift we recommend for your build.

A Body Lift doesn’t affect the suspension at all. Instead, the body is lifted above the frame anywhere from 1-3 inches. Body Lifts aren’t typically recommended except under special circumstances.

Will lifting my truck affect my truck’s handling or performance?2024-09-10T09:18:36-05:00

A quality lift or level should mostly retain or even improve factory handling and performance, as long as you’re still using factory wheels and tires. However, larger or wider tires can sometimes result in undesired ride qualities, especially at higher speeds. Turn radius can be affected negatively with lifts, and larger tires also mean more weight added, which can impact performance. Also, more aggressive off-road tires tend to wear faster on the highway, and traction might not be as great as you would expect on wet roads.

Will a Suspension Lift or Leveling Kit void my new truck’s factory warranty?2024-09-10T09:18:43-05:00

In most cases, installing a lift or level will not void the warranty on your truck. However, it is always a good idea to check with the manufacturer or your dealership to verify whether any modifications, including lift kits, will affect your warranty. Some extended warranties even include provisions for lifted trucks. Also, it’s possible a warranty claim can be denied due to improperly installed lifts, which is why you should always opt for professional installation, rather than doing it yourself.

Can I buy my own parts and bring them to you for installation?2024-09-11T15:08:23-05:00

We can certainly install parts that you bring with you (as long as they’re compatible with your truck), but we STRONGLY encourage you to consult with us before making any purchases. In most cases, we can get the kit you want for the same or less than you would pay. In fact, we can price match most retailers. Another benefit in consulting with us first is that we’ll make sure you have all the necessary components for your lift, which means your lift gets installed correctly without having to wait for additional parts to be shipped!

How long will you need my truck for a lift installation?2024-09-10T09:18:57-05:00

Most lifts can be installed in a single day. More complex lifts that require custom modifications or fabrication can take longer. We will work with you to schedule your installation so everything is handled as efficiently as possible. We know you don’t want to be without your truck for very long!

Will my truck need an alignment after the lift is installed, and can you perform the alignment?2024-09-10T09:19:02-05:00

Yes, 100% you will need an alignment as soon as possible after installation of a lift or level. We do NOT perform alignments at Twisted Suspension. However, we have trusted partners we recommend and can even help deliver your vehicle to one of our alignment partners immediately after installation. We will discuss this with you when we schedule your appointment. Please make sure you budget separately for an alignment!

How much does a lift cost, including installation?2024-09-10T09:19:08-05:00

The cost of a lift can vary depending on the type of kit, the size of the lift, and the manufacturer. On average, a simple leveling kit that uses spacers begins around $500, and pricing for suspension lifts cost from about $1,500 on up to several thousand dollars for more complex kits.

What forms of payment do you accept?2024-09-10T09:19:14-05:00

We accept cash (of course!) and credit card. If paying by credit card, we add a 4% fee to cover the additional amount we’re charged by our credit card processing company. We don’t do this to penalize credit card customers. We do this to offer the lowest possible pricing if you want to pay with cash.

Can you lower my truck or car?2024-09-10T09:19:20-05:00

Yes! Although we specialize in lifts, we have lowered many vehicles for several different reasons. Sometimes it’s a cosmetic choice. Sometimes it’s an accessibility choice. Sometimes, it’s a performance choice.

Will you “squat” my truck?2024-09-10T09:19:27-05:00

Hell no! Rear blocks matter, kids. Not only does a squatted truck look stupid, it’s dangerous. In fact, many areas are making squatted trucks illegal to drive on the road.
