Everything Your Truck Needs. Nothing It Doesn't.
LONESTAR LIFTED TRUCKS is a veteran-owned custom truck shop at 4020 Trey Ln, Unit B in Argyle, Texas. We install lift kits and leveling kits, shocks and full suspension systems, wheels and tires, bumpers, winches, lighting and accessories — and we do the everyday service work that keeps a truck on the road, on any truck or SUV, two-wheel drive or four.
Everything on this page happens in our own bays, by our own technicians, on our own equipment. We do not sub out your suspension work to a shop across town and mark it up. Our door rate is $150 per hour, every operation is quoted from a published labor time, and every quote we write is itemized down to the shop supplies and the tax so there is nothing waiting for you at pickup that was not on the paper you signed.
We serve Argyle, Flower Mound, Bartonville, Copper Canyon, Justin and Northlake directly, and the greater DFW Metroplex within about fifty miles of the shop. Call (940) 240-1958 and we will build you a written quote, usually before you hang up.
From a 1.5-inch leveling kit that just takes the factory rake out, to a 12-inch long-arm build on a dually, lift work is the heart of this shop. We install suspension lifts, leveling kits, body lifts and performance ride-quality systems on Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, RAM, Toyota, Nissan and Jeep — half-ton, three-quarter-ton and one-ton.
The right kit is not always the tallest one. What you tow, what you haul, how far you commute on I-35W and whether you actually leave the pavement all change the answer. We will tell you honestly when a 4-inch kit will make you happier than a 6-inch kit, and we will tell you what a given height is going to do to your ride, your driveline angles and your fuel mileage before you spend a dollar.
| Height | What changes | What it gets you | Kits we install |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leveling kit 1.5" – 2.5" | Front only. Takes the factory rake out so the truck sits flat. | Usually clears a 33" tire on a half-ton with no trimming. Same ride quality, lowest cost, same-day install. | ReadyLIFT, Rough Country, Eibach, ICON |
| Suspension lift 3" – 4" | Front and rear. New struts or spacers, blocks or add-a-leafs, extended brake lines as needed. | 33" to 35" tires on most half-tons. The most popular street build we do — real presence without hurting the daily drive. | BDS, Zone Offroad, ReadyLIFT, Rough Country |
| Suspension lift 5" – 6" | Front and rear with new knuckles or crossmember, driveshaft and track bar corrections. | 35" to 37" tires. The classic North Texas three-quarter-ton look. Expect a full day or two in the bay plus alignment. | BDS, McGaughy's, Zone Offroad, Rough Country |
| Suspension lift 7" – 12" | Full long-arm or four-link geometry, driveline and steering correction, upgraded shocks. | 37" to 40"+ tires. This is a build, not a bolt-on — done right it rides better than most 6-inch kits. | BDS, McGaughy's, Fox, King |
| Performance / ride-quality kit | Engineered coilovers, matched valving, geometry correction. Height is a by-product, not the point. | For the owner who tows, hauls or actually drives dirt roads and wants the suspension to work, not just sit tall. | Carli Suspension, Westcott Designs, ICON, Fox, King, Elka |
Every height above is quoted with the alignment, the hardware and the labor hours on the same sheet. Tire fitment is checked against your exact year, cab and bed configuration before we order anything — that is how you avoid a set of 37s that rub at full lock.
Shocks are where a truck stops being a look and starts being a ride. A worn factory shock on a lifted truck is the single most common reason somebody tells us their build "rides rough" — and it is usually the cheapest thing on the truck to fix.
We install and service the full range: twin-tube replacements, 2.0 and 2.5 monotube, remote reservoir, bypass and full coilover conversions. We stock Fox, King, Elka, Carli Suspension, ICON Vehicle Dynamics, Eibach and Bilstein-class replacements, and we will tell you which valving actually suits a truck that spends five days a week on FM 407 and two days with a gooseneck behind it.
We sell, mount and balance wheels and tires for everything — lifted trucks, stock trucks, SUVs, cars, 2WD and 4WD. Wheels from 17 inches through 26 inches, forged and cast, in every offset and bolt pattern that matters in North Texas. Tires from highway all-season through all-terrain, hybrid, mud-terrain and load-range E for the guys who tow heavy.
Fitment is not guesswork here. We check backspacing, offset, load rating and speed rating against your truck and your lift before an order goes in, so a wheel and tire package actually clears at full lock and under compression instead of rubbing the fender liner the first time you turn into a driveway.
Done in-house, on lifted trucks and stock ones alike — including three-quarter-ton and one-ton duallies that most quick-lube shops will not put on a rack.
Stock or near-stock height truck, car or SUV. Toe, camber and caster set to manufacturer spec with a printed before-and-after. The right call after new tires, a pothole on I-35W, or a steering wheel that sits crooked.
Ride height changes geometry. On a lifted truck caster often has to be brought back into range with adjustable arms or cam bolts before an alignment will hold. We quote the correction honestly instead of setting toe and calling it done.
Every lift and leveling job we write includes the alignment. Driving a new lift on an old alignment is the fastest way to scrub the shoulders off a brand new set of tires inside a few thousand miles.
The parts that make a truck yours, and the wiring behind them done properly. We fabricate where we need to, we solder and heat-shrink instead of crimping and hoping, and we fuse every circuit we add.
You do not need a lifted truck to be our customer. The bays are open for regular service on any truck or SUV.
Pads, rotors, hardware and fluid. Bigger tires ask more of a brake system — if you just went from 32s to 37s, this is the service to think about next.
Conventional, synthetic blend and full synthetic oil changes, plus air, cabin and fuel filter service on gas and diesel trucks.
Mount, balance, rotate, repair and TPMS. Walk-in tire rotations and balances are welcome Monday through Saturday.
Ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, hub assemblies, U-joints, sway bar links and shock replacement on stock trucks too.
Something clunking, wandering, vibrating or wearing tires unevenly? We will put it on the rack and tell you what we actually find.
Contractor, landscape, service-van and municipal fleets — at the shop. See our fleet program.
The unglamorous list. Every one of these is a job we will take on a truck, an SUV or a car, whether we built it or not, and most of them are same-day.
We are not a Texas state inspection station, so we cannot do your annual state inspection — we will tell you that up front rather than have you make the drive.
Power Stroke, Cummins and Duramax. Most of the three-quarter-ton and one-ton trucks that come through here are diesels, and they have a maintenance list of their own that a lot of quick-lube shops either will not touch or get wrong.
Two honest limits, stated up front. We do not do internal engine work — injectors, turbos, head gaskets and CP4 failures go to a diesel engine specialist, and we will point you to one. And we do not remove or defeat emissions equipment on any vehicle; tampering with an emissions system is a federal violation under the Clean Air Act, and no shop that intends to be here in ten years does it.
A lift changes driveline angles, and a truck that spends its life in four-wheel drive on caliche and job sites wears the front end faster than the rear. This is the work that keeps both of those from turning into a bigger bill.
Two-wheel drive trucks are welcome here too, and they are not an afterthought. A 2WD lift is a real job with its own parts and its own considerations, and plenty of shops act like those trucks do not exist.
Both of these happen in our own building, on our own clock. We do not sub the wrap out to a sign shop and we do not send you across town for tint. That matters, because a truck that is already in the bay for a lift can get wrapped and tinted on the same visit instead of three appointments at three businesses.
We install tint in house on trucks, SUVs and cars, and we install it to Texas law — no film that puts you in front of a police officer explaining yourself. Texas allows 25% VLT or lighter on the front side windows, 25% or lighter on the windshield strip above the AS-1 line, and any darkness behind the driver on a truck or SUV, with reflectivity capped at 25%. We label the vehicle with the compliance sticker the law requires.
Full details on both: vehicle wraps and window tint.
Every make and model below is work we take. Lifted, stock, gas, diesel, two-wheel drive or four — and cars too. If it rolls in, we will work on it.
Two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Gas, diesel, hybrid and electric. Lifted or dead stock. If it rolls into the bay we will work on it — and if a job is outside what we do, we will tell you that instead of guessing on your dime.
Some trucks come to us for a leveling kit. Some come in stock and leave as something nobody else in Denton County is driving. We take on complete builds and we manage them end to end — one shop, one point of contact, one invoice.
Custom work is quoted as its own labor line so you can see exactly what the fabrication, paint or wiring time costs against the parts. Nothing gets buried.
Five steps, no surprises. This is the same process whether you are buying four tires or a forty-thousand-dollar build.
Call, email or stop in. We build a written, itemized quote — parts, labor hours, shop supplies, tax, fees — and text or email it to you. You can approve it from your phone.
A deposit lets us order your parts. It comes straight off your total — it is not an extra charge — and right up until we place the order it is fully refundable.
We do not schedule your truck until every part for your job is physically checked in on our shelf. That is the rule that keeps your truck out of our lot waiting on a backorder.
You get a scheduled date and a realistic number of days. Torque specs, thread locker and a road test are part of the job, not an upsell.
Alignment printout, a walkaround, a paid-in-full receipt, and a re-torque check we want to see you back for after the first few hundred miles.
We take card, cash and debit — cash and debit skip the card processing charge, and we will tell you what that saves before you decide. Ask us about payment options on a larger build.
We are an authorized dealer for all 42 brands below. That means real warranty support, real tech access and correct parts — not a box off an auction site.
Authorized dealer for every brand listed above. Running something that is not on this list? We can source and install almost any major aftermarket suspension, wheel, tire or accessory line — give us a call and we will price it out.
The questions we get asked every week, answered the way we would answer them at the counter.
A leveling kit on a half-ton usually lands in the several-hundred-dollar range installed. A 6-inch suspension lift on a three-quarter-ton with new shocks, an alignment and a set of wheels and tires is a different animal entirely. Rather than post a number that will be wrong for your truck, we build you a written, itemized quote — parts, labor hours, shop supplies, tax and any fees, all on one page — usually while you are still on the phone. 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.
Not automatically. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your entire warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts — they have to show the part actually caused the failure. In practice that means a dealer can decline a claim on a component the lift genuinely affected, but not on your radio or your transmission. We install to the manufacturer's spec, torque to spec, and keep the paperwork so you have documentation if a question ever comes up. Several of the brands we carry also back their kits with their own limited warranty.
A leveling kit and an alignment is usually a same-day job. A full suspension lift with wheels and tires is typically one to two days in the bay. Bigger builds — long-arm kits, traction bars, bumpers, lighting and wiring — run longer, and we tell you the number of days up front. Our operating rule is that we do not schedule your truck until every single part for your job is physically on our shelf. That is why we ask for a deposit to order parts, and it is why your truck is not sitting in our lot waiting on a backordered control arm.
Yes, every time. Changing ride height changes camber, caster and toe, and driving on it un-aligned is the fastest way to ruin a brand new set of tires. We do alignments in-house, including basic one-hour alignments on stock-height trucks and full lifted-truck alignments where caster has to be brought back into range. Alignment is quoted as part of every lift and leveling job we write.
Both. Lifted trucks are what we are known for, but the bays are open to any truck or SUV, two-wheel drive or four. Wheels and tires, oil changes, brakes, shocks, rotations, balancing and general maintenance are all everyday work here. If you drive a stock F-150 and just need four tires mounted and balanced, that is a job we want.
Almost always. We are an authorized dealer for the 42 brands listed on this page, which covers most of what people ask for, and we can source the rest through our distribution. Tell us what you want and we will price it, tell you the lead time honestly, and put it in writing.
Nine dollars per tire we take off your truck. That covers proper EPA-compliant scrap tire disposal through a licensed transporter — it is not a made-up fee, and it is itemized on your quote like everything else so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
We do. LONESTAR LIFTED TRUCKS is a veteran-owned shop and we take care of active duty, veterans, firefighters, law enforcement, EMS and paramedics. Bring valid ID or credentials and tell us your branch or department when we write the quote — the discount is applied before you ever see a number.
