A leveling kit typically raises the front of a truck to reduce the factory rake and can provide additional clearance for larger tires. A suspension lift raises the vehicle more substantially and may replace or modify springs, shocks, control arms and other suspension components. The right choice depends on the stance, tire size, ride quality and capability you want from your vehicle.

There isn’t one lift height that works for every tire size. Proper fitment depends on the vehicle, wheel width and offset, tire dimensions, suspension setup and how the vehicle will be used. We look at the complete combination before recommending a lift so you get the clearance and stance you want without creating unnecessary fitment or drivability problems.

It can. Ride quality depends heavily on the suspension components used, lift height, shocks, springs, tires and how the system is set up. A properly designed suspension can maintain excellent on-road manners while adding clearance and capability. We build the suspension around how you actually use the vehicle rather than simply choosing a lift based on height.

Not always, but larger tires change the vehicle’s effective gear ratio and can affect acceleration, transmission behavior, towing performance, fuel economy and overall drivability. Re-gearing can help restore the mechanical advantage lost with larger tires. We consider tire size, engine, transmission, vehicle weight and intended use when recommending a gear ratio.

Wheel diameter is only part of proper fitment. Width, offset, backspacing, tire size, suspension height and available clearance all work together. The wrong combination can cause rubbing, poor clearance or place the wheel farther in or out than intended. LRM Customs can help select a wheel and tire combination that gives you the stance and performance you want while maintaining proper fitment.

In most cases, yes. Changing suspension components or ride height can alter alignment angles and steering geometry. A proper alignment helps with handling, tire wear and overall drivability. LRM Customs can perform the final alignment in-house after your suspension installation, so the complete setup can be handled by one team.

Yes. We can help plan anything from a simple lift, wheel and tire package to a complete off-road or custom build. Suspension, wheels and tires, gearing, bumpers, armor, winches, lighting, axles, lockers, steering, drivetrain and other upgrades can all be considered together so the components work as a complete system rather than a collection of unrelated parts.
