Common Questions
How do I know if my truck needs suspension work?+
Signs include uneven tire wear, truck leaning to one side, rough ride quality, bouncing over bumps, steering looseness, or air system running constantly. If your truck doesn't sit level when parked, something's off.
Do you service air ride and leaf spring suspensions?+
Yes. We service both air ride and leaf spring suspensions across all major truck platforms. Air bags, leveling valves, leaf springs, u-bolts, shocks, and cab mounts.
Can bad suspension cause tire problems?+
Absolutely. Misalignment, worn king pins, bad shocks, and incorrect ride height all cause premature and uneven tire wear. Fixing the suspension issue saves you thousands in tire costs over time.
Do you do front-end alignments on diesel trucks?+
Yes. Steer axle alignment including toe, camber, and caster adjustment. We recommend alignment after any steering or suspension component replacement to protect your tires.
