Denver's Off-Road Suspension Specialists Since 2013
Suspension Install & Lift Kits Denver
What We Install
Lift kits, coilover upgrades, long travel builds, leveling kits, portal axle installs, spring-under conversions, straight axle swaps, KDSS modifications, upper and lower control arm replacement, leaf spring work, ball joint and bushing service, and bumpstop upgrades. If it connects to your suspension, we work on it.
We also offer 4x4 alignment as a separate service to get your geometry dialed after a lift. It makes a real difference in how the truck drives and how long your tires last.
Every build that comes through our shop is different. A weekend Tacoma getting a 2-inch level is a different conversation than a Tundra loaded down with bumpers, sliders, a full rack, and a rooftop tent. If you need wheels and tires to complete your build, we handle that too. We look at what you are carrying, where you are driving, and what your goals are before we recommend anything.
We are located at 930 W Mississippi Ave in Denver and serve the entire metro area, including Lakewood, Englewood, Littleton, Aurora, Arvada, and Boulder.
Built for Every Off-Road Platform
Tacoma. 4Runner. Tundra. Ford Raptor. Bronco. Wrangler. Colorado ZR2. Ram. We build suspension across all of them.
Every platform has its own details. Diff drop brackets on a 3rd Gen Tacoma. UCA clearance on a 5th Gen 4Runner. Factory long travel geometry on a Raptor. Coil bucket differences between a JL and JK Wrangler. We have been working through these setups since 2013, and that experience shows up in the quality of the final build.
If your vehicle goes off-road, we would be happy to take a look at it.

Common Questions About Lift Kit Installs
Answers to what customers ask us most about suspension work, lift kits, and our install process.
Lift Kit Installs
How long does a lift kit install take?
Most lift kit installs are a one to two day job. Long travel builds, regear combos, or anything with custom fabrication can take three to five days. We will give you an honest timeline before we start.
Do I need an alignment after a lift?
We strongly recommend an alignment after every lift install. When you change ride height, you change the entire suspension geometry. Camber, caster, and toe all shift, and if those are not corrected, your truck will eat tires, pull on the highway, and never drive the way it should.
Here is the problem most people run into: they take their freshly lifted truck to a Firestone or a big franchise alignment shop, and the tech punches in the factory specs. Those specs are for a stock truck sitting at stock height. They do not apply anymore. The alignment comes back "in spec" on paper but the truck still drives wrong because the geometry changed and nobody adjusted for it.
Our technicians know how to set upper control arms, cam bolts, and alignment components to match the new geometry of a lifted vehicle. That is a completely different skill set than a standard alignment.
There is also a clearance factor. If you lifted your truck to fit bigger tires, the alignment needs to be dialed so those tires do not rub at full lock or on compression. Getting that right means you actually get to use the tire size you paid for without trimming or rubbing.
You just spent serious money building your truck. A proper off-road alignment makes sure it actually drives like it should.
What is the best lift for a Toyota 4Runner or Tacoma?
It depends on the build. What tires are you running? How much armor and gear weight are you carrying? Is this a daily driver, a weekend trail truck, or both? We sit down with every customer and talk through those details before recommending a setup. Give us a call or stop by and we will help you figure it out.
Can you install a lift kit I already bought?
Absolutely. Bring in what you have and we will get it installed. We warranty our labor regardless of where the parts came from.
What vehicles do you work on?
Toyota, Lexus, Ford, Jeep, Chevy, Ram, Nissan, and more. We build suspension across all major off-road platforms. If you are not sure whether we can help with your vehicle, just call us.
