Lift Kit Options

The right lift height depends on your tire goals, towing needs, and whether the truck sees off-road trails near Dallas-Fort Worth or stays on pavement.

2–3" Spacer Lift

Bolt-on spacers that raise your truck economically while preserving factory suspension components. Fits 33" tires on most half-ton trucks. Ideal for a leveled-and-then-some look without altering suspension geometry significantly.

4–6" Suspension Lift

Replaces factory springs, struts, and control arms with upgraded components from Rough Country, BDS, or Fabtech. Clears 35" tires with proper trimming. Includes extended brake lines and rear bump-stop extensions. This is our most popular lift range.

8–12"+ Full Suspension

The show truck / extreme off-road build. Complete suspension overhaul with new knuckles, extended A-arms, relocated shocks, carrier bearing drop, SYE kit, and custom driveshaft. Clears 37"–40"+ tires for maximum ground clearance.

The Metroplex Advantage

Why Choose
Metroplex?

Lifting a truck incorrectly causes driveline vibrations, premature CV joint failure, and steering wander. We engineer every lift — accounting for driveshaft angles, CV limits, and brake line travel — so your truck rides smooth and tracks straight at highway speed on I-35.

Driveline Angle Correction

Lifts over 3" change your driveshaft's operating angle. We install carrier bearing drops, transmission spacers, or SYE (Slip Yoke Eliminator) kits as needed to keep vibration-free at highway speeds.

Rough Country, BDS, Fabtech & More

We install kits from the brands that serious truck owners trust: Rough Country, BDS Suspension, Fabtech, ReadyLIFT, Icon Vehicle Dynamics, Fox Racing, and Bilstein. Full manufacturer warranties on every kit.

Alignment Included — Always

Every lift we install includes a 4-wheel alignment on our Hunter HawkEye Elite at no extra charge. A lifted truck without alignment eats through front tires in 5,000 miles — we see it constantly from other shops.

Pro Tip from the Shop

Re-gearing the differential is critical after lifts over 4" when running 35"+ tires. Larger tires effectively raise your gear ratio — a truck geared at 3.42:1 from the factory behaves like 2.90:1 on 35s. Your engine lugs at highway speed, the transmission hunts between gears, and fuel economy drops 3–5 MPG. We always discuss re-gearing (typically to 4.56 or 4.88) as part of the build plan for any serious lift.

The Process

01

Build Planning

We discuss your tire goals, towing needs, and whether the truck sees trail duty. We design the lift configuration and spec all required components.

02

Component Sourcing

We order the complete kit matched to your truck's exact platform — including brake line extensions, bump stops, and any driveshaft modifications required.

03

Expert Installation

Our team installs every component to manufacturer torque specs, verifies brake line routing, checks CV angles, and addresses any driveline vibration.

04

Alignment & Road Test

4-wheel Hunter HawkEye alignment, 20+ mile road test at highway speeds, and final inspection before delivery. We verify zero vibration and straight tracking.

Avoid These Pitfalls

Common Mistakes We Fix

We regularly correct lift jobs from other shops and DIY installs. These are the failures we see most often.

Skipping Alignment After Lift

A lift changes caster, camber, and toe. Without alignment, your truck will pull to one side and eat through front tires in 5,000 miles. We include a Hunter HawkEye 4-wheel alignment with every lift — no exceptions.

Ignoring Driveline Vibration

Lifts over 3" change your driveshaft's operating angle. Shops that don't install carrier bearing drops or transmission spacers leave the customer with a vibration that worsens over time and damages U-joints.

Used Cheap Coil Spacers That Compress

Budget polyurethane spacers compress under load over time, causing the truck to settle unevenly. We use billet aluminum spacers or properly rated lift springs that maintain their height for the life of the vehicle.

No Bump Stop Extension

Without extending bump stops after a lift, your axle can contact the frame during full compression — damaging brake lines, shocks, and the frame itself. We extend or relocate bump stops on every lift.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

A spacer lift adds height using spacers above your factory struts or springs — it's economical and preserves OE ride quality but doesn't increase suspension travel. A suspension lift replaces factory components with longer springs, upgraded shocks, and new control arms — providing more ground clearance, better off-road articulation, and room for larger tires.

If you're lifting 4"+ and running 35" or larger tires, re-gearing is strongly recommended. Bigger tires effectively lower your gear ratio, causing the engine to lug and the transmission to hunt between gears. Re-gearing to 4.56 or 4.88 restores the power band and recovers lost fuel economy.

Rough Country, BDS Suspension, Fabtech, ReadyLIFT, Icon Vehicle Dynamics, Fox Racing, and Bilstein. We recommend the brand that best matches your truck platform, driving style, and budget. All kits carry full manufacturer warranties.

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer can only deny warranty coverage if they can prove the modification directly caused the failure. A properly installed lift kit from a reputable manufacturer shouldn't void unrelated warranty claims. We document our installations thoroughly.

Spacer lifts take 3–5 hours. 4–6" suspension lifts take 1–2 days. 8"+ full suspension systems take 2–3 days. All installations include a Hunter HawkEye alignment and extended road test.
