Lift Kits: From Leveling to Full Suspension Lifts

If you drive a truck, Jeep, or SUV, lifting your vehicle gives you the ground clearance needed to tackle rough terrain and mount oversized tires. We offer solutions for every budget and application:

Leveling Kits & Basic Spacers: Most trucks come from the factory with a "rake" (the front sits lower than the rear). We install high-quality strut spacers or torsion keys to lift the front end 1-3 inches, leveling out the stance and allowing for slightly larger tires without breaking the bank.
Full Suspension Lift Kits: For serious off-roading and massive tire upgrades, we install complete lift kits. This involves replacing the factory suspension with heavy-duty lifted springs, extended shock absorbers, lifted knuckles, and drop crossmembers to completely transform your vehicle's capability.

Lowering Kits: Springs & Full Coilovers

Lowering a vehicle lowers its center of gravity, dramatically reducing body roll in corners and giving it a sleek, track-ready aesthetic.

Lowering Springs: The most cost-effective way to drop your car. We replace your factory coil springs with shorter, stiffer performance springs, typically dropping the chassis 1-2 inches while utilizing your factory struts.
Full Coilovers: The ultimate upgrade for street and track performance. Coilovers replace your entire shock and spring assembly with a single, highly engineered unit. They offer fully adjustable ride height and customizable dampening, allowing you to dial in the exact stiffness and drop you desire.

The "Do It Right" Philosophy: Supporting Mods & Warranties

Changing a vehicle's ride height drastically alters its mechanical geometry. If you lift a truck 4 inches or drop a car 3 inches without accounting for the rest of the chassis, you will immediately destroy your CV axles, bind your sway bars, and snap your ball joints.

We protect your investment. Before we install any kit, we thoroughly evaluate your [standard suspension components]. We will explicitly advise you on any necessary "supporting mods"—such as extended brake lines, adjustable upper control arms, or roll-center correction kits—to ensure your vehicle remains safe and drivable.

Furthermore, we source premium aftermarket parts from trusted manufacturers and install them correctly the first time, ensuring your new setup is backed by a solid warranty.

The Final Step: Precision In-Ground Alignments

A custom lift or drop is entirely useless if the vehicle cannot drive straight. Unfortunately, many standard auto shops turn away heavily modified vehicles because their equipment simply cannot handle them.

Boulevard Auto is uniquely equipped for custom builds. We feature a state-of-the-art in-ground alignment rack that sits completely flush with our shop floor.

For Lowered Cars: There are zero steep ramps. You can drive a heavily "slammed" car straight onto our rack without ever scraping your front bumper or exhaust.
For Lifted Trucks: Our robust lift mechanism safely handles heavy-duty, high-capacity trucks weighing up to 10,000 lbs.

Following every custom suspension installation, we perform a [precision wheel alignment] to completely re-spec your toe, camber, and caster, ensuring your tires wear evenly and your steering wheel is dead straight.
