Built on Service. Forged by Life.
Most people pick one life. Ralph Randolph has lived several. U.S. Marine Corps veteran. Airline captain. Custom builder. Television personality. And now — the man behind North Texas's most serious lifted truck operation.
Ralph built his reputation with two wheels before he ever touched four. As the founder of Knockout Motorcycle Company, his custom builds landed on the covers of every major motorcycle magazine and put him in rooms most builders only dream about. He built the "Number 45" Texas Longhorn custom bike for a prominent Hollywood actor and Texas celebrity — a build that landed on the cover of Hot Bike Magazine. He built custom bikes for Patrón Tequila, Jim Beam and Snap-on Tools. He partnered with actor Lorenzo Lamas to launch Lorenzo Cycles at Sturgis. His Rat Rocket turned heads at the legendary Rat's Hole Show in Daytona. He competed on CMT's Chopper Challenge, building a Jim Beam tribute bike, and ran the Easy Rider Tour and the Hard Rock Tour.
Then came Discovery Channel. Ralph played one of the main characters on The Devil's Ride, bringing his story, his personality and his builds to a national television audience. If you have followed the custom build world, you already know the name.
Today he channels all of it — the Marine discipline, the aviation precision, the builder's eye — into LONESTAR LIFTED TRUCKS in Argyle, Texas. Alongside his son Dylan, he is building the most credible custom truck operation in North Texas. When you bring your truck here you are not just getting a lift. You are getting the hands and the standard of a builder who has earned his name at every level.

LONESTAR LIFTED TRUCKS LLC operates out of 4020 Trey Ln, Unit B in Argyle — Denton County, Texas, a few minutes off FM 407 and US-377. It is a real shop with real bays, not a storefront that farms the work out. Suspension, wheels, tires, alignment, accessories, wiring, wraps and full custom builds all happen under this roof, by our technicians, on our equipment.
That is a deliberate choice and it costs more to run. The alternative — sending your suspension to one shop, your alignment to another and your wheels to a third — is how a three-day build turns into a three-week runaround with nobody accountable when something is not right. Here there is one quote, one invoice and one person to call.
Every job starts with a written, itemized quote — parts, labor hours, shop supplies, tax and any fees on a single page. Our door rate is $150 per hour and every operation is quoted from a published labor time, so the number you approve is the number you pay. We can text or email the quote to your phone and you can approve it from wherever you are.
A deposit lets us order your parts, and it comes straight off your total — it is not an extra charge. Right up until we place the order it is fully refundable, and we always tell you before we order. Then your parts get checked in, piece by piece, onto our shelf. Only when every last one of them is physically in the building do we put your truck on the schedule. That single rule is the reason our customers' trucks are not sitting in our lot waiting on a backordered control arm.
Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, RAM, Toyota, Nissan and Jeep. Half-ton, three-quarter-ton and one-ton, gas and diesel, two-wheel drive and four. Lifted trucks are our name, but the bays are open for wheels and tires, brakes, oil changes, shocks, alignment and general maintenance on any truck or SUV — and we also run a commercial fleet tire program for contractors, landscape crews, service vans and municipal fleets.
Six things we will not trade away for a faster ticket.
Military discipline drives everything here. No shortcuts, no excuses. Torque specs are not suggestions and a job is not done until somebody has checked it.
You talk to the people who work on your truck. Not a service writer reading off a screen, not a call center, not a ticket number.
Parts, labor hours, shop supplies, tax and fees, itemized on one sheet before we touch the truck. Nothing shows up at pickup that you did not approve.
We do not schedule your truck until every part for your job is physically checked in on our shelf. Your truck should be in a bay, not in our lot waiting on a shipment.
We know these roads — FM 407, US-377, I-35W, the caliche and the chip seal. We spec trucks for the way people actually drive here.
We will talk you out of the wrong kit. A 4-inch lift that makes you happy at month six beats a 6-inch lift you quietly regret.
We proudly honor the people who serve and protect. Active duty military, veterans, firefighters, law enforcement, EMS and paramedics receive a discount on every job we write — because that service deserves to be recognized on an ordinary Tuesday, not just once a year.
Tell us your branch or your department when we write the quote. Valid military ID or first responder credentials are required. The discount is applied before you ever see a number.
Argyle is home. We serve the DFW Metroplex within about fifty miles of the shop.

Ralph Randolph — U.S. Marine Corps veteran, airline captain and lifelong custom builder — owns and runs the shop alongside his son Dylan. It is a veteran-owned Texas LLC operating out of Argyle, Denton County.
Standards, mostly. Torque specs are not suggestions, a job is not finished until it is checked, and nobody here is comfortable handing back a truck that is close enough. That is not marketing language — it is just how people who came out of the Marine Corps and out of an airline cockpit are wired.
LONESTAR LIFTED TRUCKS LLC was formed in 2026 and operates from 4020 Trey Ln, Unit B in Argyle. Ralph has been building custom vehicles professionally for decades — the shop is new, the hands are not.
No. Lifted trucks are what we are known for, but the bays are open to any truck or SUV, two-wheel drive or four, lifted or stock — wheels, tires, brakes, oil, alignment, shocks and general maintenance included.
