4x4 & Lift Kit Installation in Craig, CO
From a leveling kit to a full lift, we build 4x4s that handle the terrain and still drive right on the highway home.
Quick answer
Do you install lift kits in Craig?
Yes. We install leveling kits through full suspension lifts, set up correctly with the steering geometry and alignment dialed in afterward, so the truck wears tires evenly and drives safely. We also repair 4x4 suspension and steering for trucks that already work hard.
What's included
- Leveling and lift kit installation
- Shocks, springs, and steering geometry setup
- Alignment after every build
- 4x4 suspension repair and upgrades
Leveling kit, body lift or suspension lift
A leveling kit raises the front of a truck an inch or two so it sits flat instead of nose-down, which also clears a slightly larger tire. A suspension lift raises the whole truck on longer springs, spacers or new control arms for real ground clearance and bigger tires. The right choice depends on what the truck does: a ranch truck that tows every week has different limits than a weekend trail rig, and towing capacity, ride quality and tire size all move with lift height.
A body lift is the third option. It raises the body off the frame on spacers, which clears bigger tires without changing the suspension geometry, so ground clearance under the axles stays the same. It suits a truck that needs tire room more than it needs clearance over rocks and ruts.
We spec the lift, wheels and tires together, so the combination fits, turns without rubbing and does not overload the parts it depends on. Then we set the steering geometry and align it at the new ride height, so the truck tracks straight and wears tires evenly.
Staying legal and safe after a lift
Lifting a truck raises its headlights too. Colorado law requires headlamps to sit between 24 and 54 inches from the ground, measured from the center of the lamp, and lifted trucks are the ones that end up near the top of that range. We re-aim the headlights after a lift so they light the road instead of blinding oncoming drivers.
Bigger tires change more than looks. The speedometer reads low, braking distances grow with heavier wheels, and the driveline sees new angles. We check driveshaft angles and brake condition as part of the build, and recommend speedometer recalibration when the tire size change calls for it.
Built for the Yampa Valley

Frequently asked questions
A leveling kit raises the front an inch or two to match the rear, usually so a truck sits even and clears slightly larger tires. A full lift raises the whole truck higher for bigger tires and more ground clearance. We help you pick based on how you use it.
Not if it is done right. We set the steering geometry and alignment after install so the truck handles predictably and wears tires evenly, both on the highway and off road.
It depends on lift height, wheel offset, and any trimming. We spec the lift, wheel, and tire combination together so it fits and turns without rubbing, instead of guessing and ending up with problems.
Yes. We replace shocks, struts, springs, ball joints, control arms, and steering components on 4x4s and work trucks, so a rig that already works hard keeps handling safely.
Yes. Alignment is part of every lift we do, and we can align lifted trucks that were built elsewhere too, dialing in camber, caster, and toe for the new ride height.
Yes. We regularly repair, correct, and realign lifts built by other shops or owners, whether it is a clunk, a steering issue, or tire rub.
It varies by kit and what else the truck needs. We give you a written estimate and a timeline up front, and a free loaner is available so you are not stuck waiting.
Done right, no. The correct shocks for the kit plus proper geometry and alignment keep a lifted truck driving well on the highway while still handling the trail and ranch roads.
Not by itself. The Federal Trade Commission says a manufacturer may not deny warranty coverage unless it can show the aftermarket part caused the need for the repair, and the rest of the warranty stays in force. Keep your invoice from us with the truck's paperwork.
