Leveling Kits

A leveled truck

As the name implies, leveling kits level your truck.

Most trucks come from the factory with a “raked” stance. This means the rear of the truck sits slightly higher than the front. This added height in the back prevents your rear suspension from completely bottoming out under a heavy load. The advantage of this design is two-fold: It stops premature wear on your bushings and shocks and maintains decent handling when hauling cargo.

A leveling kit involves hardware to slightly raise the front of the vehicle so it matches the stock height in the back. Most leveling kits include a strut spacer that varies between 1 and 3 inches. The spacer fits between the chassis of the truck and the upper spring perch. The effect is to move the chassis of the truck up by that distance without significantly affecting the geometry of your vehicle’s suspension.

This is done primarily for looks, but a leveling kit can also added a small amount of ground clearance for slightly larger tires. And because a leveling kit raises the front of your truck without affecting the rear, the payload capacity of the truck won’t change.

Most leveling kits fit on top of the factory front springs. You maintain the same steering feel, shock absorption and handling that you had before we install the kit. As with any suspension modification, it’s always a good idea to get an alignment to ensure maximum longevity from your tires and proper handling.

The bottom line is that leveling kits are great for street trucks that see hauling or towing duty.

Electronic Corrosion Protection?

Car owners living in wintry climates like Ohio are constantly worried about cleaning road salt off their vehicles at the end of the day, to prevent rust from occurring. There are several ways to prevent corrosion. There is undercoating, spraying a tar-based substance on the exposed parts of a vehicle's underbody. There is dripless oil spray, a wax-like substance applied to the entire body of the vehicle, it hardens once it has dried. There is drip oil spray, and that is the most commonly recommended rust protection. But there is one new, greener method of corrosion protection , electronic corrosion protection (ECP). Electronic Corrosion Module protects the entire vehicle ECP emits a low power, pulse-wave, radio-frequency signal across all sheet metal surfaces of the vehicle. It protects against rust perforation that starts from the inside-out or the outside-in, even if it's caused by stone chips or scratches. The module's electromagnetic pulse-wave is effectiv...

Buffing Q&A: Classy Chassis

Buffing is a commonly misunderstood practice of many professional detailers and dealerships.  If you've seen buffing on our  list of services  and it has made you curious, you're probably not alone in having questions about the process. Here are a few common questions we get about our professional scratch removal service:  What's the difference between buffing and polishing?  Polishing is generally more abrasive than buffing, however, it is typically required because it levels the surface. Buffing removes the lines created by the brush-like polish and creates a bright, shiny surface. It is the most fatiguing and dangerous part of scratch removal: a good buffing job takes at least two hours, and the buffing wheel moves quickly. This is why it's wise to leave the job up to the professionals.  How does buffing work?  Before a detailer can start buffing the car, the surface should be nice and clean so that the buffer does not further impede debris into the...
