Custom Lifted Trucks for Sale in Hurst, TX

Custom Lifted Trucks for Sale in Hurst, TX

Every truck in our lifted inventory was taller when it left our shop than when it arrived. Since Hurst Autoplex offers custom lifted trucks with both the suspension and the wheel-and-tire package already fitted and aligned, you can bypass the aftermarket build queue and drive away in a truck that is complete. Our Hurst, TX, inventory includes gasoline and diesel pickups from Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Jeep, Ram, and Toyota.

The Lift Work Happens In-House at Autoplex Customs

Autoplex Customs is our in-house build shop, not a third-party vendor we send the trucks to. Our technicians carry out the suspension fitting and the fitting of the wheels and tires, after which they carry out the alignment, before the truck is photographed for the website. When you buy a lifted truck from us, one business is associated with the vehicle and the modification, unlike a pre-owned truck in Fort Worth, TX, where the previous owner may have bolted the kit on in his driveway and kept no records.

Lift Heights From a Level Kit to Eight Inches

A level kit is the smallest adjustment you can make; it raises the front of the truck to match the factory rear ride height, eliminating the nose-down rake pickups have off the assembly line and allowing a tire that is roughly one size bigger. Most level kits raise the front of the truck by about two inches while leaving the rest of the truck unchanged.

A full suspension lift is a completely different kind of job. FTS Full Throttle Suspension kits replace or extend the control arms, knuckles, springs, and shocks, allowing the truck to be raised without altering its steering geometry or the routing of the brake lines. We offer a kit that can provide up to eight inches of lift for trucks that will be used seriously off-road. If customers want the ability to alter their ride height as required, then Kelderman air suspension is the option, something that is useful for people who need the truck to be low enough to fit through a garage door in Southlake, TX, and tall enough to clear a ranch road on the weekend.

Increasing the truck's height requires second-order work; depending on the specific truck, modifications such as longer shocks, a dropped pitman arm or an adjustable track bar, a carrier bearing spacer on the driveshaft, and extended brake lines may be included in the build. Our technicians will also recalibrate the speedometer to match the new tire diameter. Because switching to 37-inch tires significantly alters the effective gear ratio, you should also consider a differential gear change, as the larger tires negatively affect acceleration and towing response.

Wheels, Tires, and Fitment

Lift height and tire size are decided together. A level kit typically supports 33-inch tires on a half-ton. Four to six inches of suspension lift allows 35s, and eight inches with the right wheel backspacing gets you 37s or 40s on a Super Duty or heavy-duty Ram.

Wheel offset controls how far the tire sits outboard. The wrong number causes rubbing at full steering lock or a tire that sticks out past the fender. We spec the wheel to the kit, not the other way around. Tire choice follows the job: aggressive mud-terrain for a hunting lease or all-terrain for an Arlington, TX driver who wants quieter highway behavior and longer tread life. Diesel buyers towing heavy loads need to check the load range since some popular off-road tires have a lower load rating than a 2500 or 3500 axle requires.

Getting into a lifted truck requires a step, so most of our builds include side steps or rock sliders sized to the new ride height.

Gas or Diesel: Picking the Right Powertrain

Lifted diesel trucks earn their premium when you pull a gooseneck or haul a loaded slide-in camper because the torque arrives low in the rev range and stays there through a grade. Gas trucks make more sense for buyers whose heaviest job is a bass boat or landscaping trailer, and they cost less up front.

Lifted Chevrolet and GMC Trucks

The Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD use a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 that makes 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed Allison automatic. A 6.6-liter gas V8 producing 401 horsepower is the other choice on those heavy-duty trucks. Half-ton buyers looking at a lifted Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or GMC Sierra 1500 can go with the 2.7-liter TurboMax four-cylinder rated at 310 horsepower, a 5.3-liter V8, a 6.2-liter V8, or a 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six diesel.

Chevy and GMC trucks, including heavy-duty models, use an independent front suspension. Lifting them means dropping the front differential and steering on a subframe to keep CV axle angles reasonable. Kits designed this way ride better than cheap spacer lifts and cost more. We deliver finished Silverado and Sierra builds to Grapevine, TX addresses, and can walk you through the kit on the vehicle before it leaves.

Lifted Ford Trucks

Ford Super Duty pickups anchor the diesel side of our lot. The Ford F-250, Ford F-350, and Ford F-450 all accept the 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine with 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque or 500 horsepower with 1,200 pound-feet in the High-Output variant. Super Duty gas models have either a 6.8-liter V8 making 405 horsepower or a 7.3-liter V8 making 430 horsepower.

Super Duty trucks feature solid front axles, which is why they take higher lifts so well. The suspension geometry stays simple as the truck goes up. A radius-arm-drop kit gets a Ford F-250 to six or eight inches without the driveline compromises an independent front end brings. The Ford F-150's aluminum body keeps curb weight down, even with 35s and a steel bumper. A lifted model parks and turns in tighter quarters on a Fort Worth, TX jobsite with no room for a trailer to swing.

Lifted Ram Trucks

Ram heavy-duty trucks pair the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline-six with a chassis built for weight, and the High-Output version puts out 1,075 pound-feet of torque in the Ram 2500 and 3500. The Ram 1500 offers a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a returning 5.7-liter HEMI V8, or one of two 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-sixes, with the top producing 540 horsepower.

Ram uses coil springs at the rear, where most competitors use leaf springs, and the difference shows up as a calmer unloaded ride on the concrete slab of I-30 heading into Dallas, TX. Lifting a coil-spring Ram 2500 calls for longer coils plus a corrected track bar at both ends to re-center the axles, and our builds include that hardware rather than leaving the axle shifted an inch off center. Ram 1500 models with the factory air suspension need a lift kit engineered for that system, and we do not put a standard coil kit on an air-equipped truck.

Lifted Jeep and Toyota Trucks

Not every buyer wants a full-size truck. The Jeep® Gladiator sits on solid axles front and rear, which makes it the most lift-friendly platform we carry: a 2.5-inch kit and 35s is a straightforward build, and the removable roof and doors stay functional. The Toyota Tacoma brings the turbocharged 2.4-liter i-FORCE four-cylinder, with an i-FORCE MAX hybrid version making 326 horsepower on upper trims, and its independent front end responds best to a moderate three-inch lift with upgraded coil covers rather than a maximum-height kit.

Both midsize trucks clear a standard residential garage door at those heights, unlike a lifted Ford F-350 on 37s. That opens them up to Arlington, TX, shoppers who deal with height-restricted parking or an HOA-required garage.
