We Don't Align to a Screen. We Align to Your Truck.
A lift kit changes everything about your truck's alignment geometry - caster, camber, toe, scrub radius, bump steer, and tire load distribution all shift the moment the suspension comes off factory specs. Most alignment shops don't know how to handle that. They put your truck on the rack, run it through their machine, adjust to the factory "green zone" on the screen, and send you on your way. Six months later your tires are cupped, your steering wheel is off-center, and your truck darts on the highway. That's not a Discount Tire mistake or a $99-shop oversight. That's what happens when you align a lifted truck like a stock one.
At G&M Motorsports, we don't align to a screen. We align to your truck - the specific truck, with its specific lift, its specific tire size, its specific use case. 15 years of build history has taught us what every common lift kit does to factory geometry, what tire size compounds those changes, and what each customer's actual driving - daily highway, weekend trail, weekly tow - requires from the alignment. Caster correction, custom toe specs for off-road use, camber adjustment for tire wear under load, steering recalibration after lift - every variable gets the right treatment for your build, not the green-zone treatment.
Why Our $249 Alignment Isn't Their $99 Alignment.
Cheap alignment shops run something called "toe and go." Toe is one of three angles that need adjusting on every alignment - the other two are camber (the inward/outward tilt of the wheel at the top) and caster (the forward/backward tilt of the steering axis). Toe is the easiest of the three to set, and on a $99 rack it's often the only one most techs actually adjust. The result is a truck where the wheels aren't actually straight, the steering wheel is off-center after the work, and one tire wears on the inside while the other wears on the outside. We see it all the time - customers come in to fix what the $99 shop didn't actually fix.
Yes, our 2-wheel alignment is $249 (plus tax and fees) and a Discount Tire alignment is $99. Here's what costs the extra: 60 to 90 minutes on the rack instead of 30. A road test before and after. Adjustments to all three angles - camber, caster, and toe - matched to your truck's specific lift, tires, and how you drive. Caster correction baked in (most cheap shops don't even attempt it). A 1,000-mile re-torque check included. And a real conversation with the technician who did the work, not a service writer guessing at what was actually changed.
If you've spent $2,000 to $20,000 on a lift kit and wheels, paying $99 to align it is how you protect $0 of that investment. Paying $249 is how you protect the whole build.
Inside Every G&M Lifted Truck Alignment
Why Choose G&M Motorsports:
A lifted truck doesn't need an alignment "when something seems off" - it needs one whenever the geometry has been disturbed. That happens more often than most owners realize: every lift kit install, every suspension swap, every major off-road impact, every set of new tires. At minimum once a year, even if nothing's obviously wrong, because lifted geometry drifts under load and a small drift becomes a worn-out tire set faster than you'd think.
Bring your truck in if any of these are true:
- You just installed or updated a lift kit, leveling kit, or new suspension components
- You've hit a major pothole, curb, or off-road obstacle
- Your tires are showing uneven wear (cupping, feathering, or edge wear)
- The truck pulls left or right under acceleration or braking
- The steering wheel sits off-center when you're driving straight
- The truck darts, wanders, or follows grooves in the road
- You're heading into a long road trip or a heavy haul
- It's been more than 12 months since your last alignment
What's Included:
Every alignment - whether its a 2-wheel, 4-wheel, or straight-axle - includes:
- 60-90 minutes on the rack with a master alignment tech, not a service-bay rotation
- Pre-alignment inspection of suspension, ball joints, tie rod ends, and tracking bar
- Full adjustment to all three angles - camber, caster, and toe - matched to your lift, tire size, and how you drive
- Caster correction included (most cheap shops can't do this; many won't even try)
- Off-road or tow-specific toe adjustment on request
- Pre- and post-alignment road test
- 1,000-mile re-torque check included to dial in after the lift settles
- Detailed before/after specs with your repair order

- 2-wheel alignment: $249. Standard alignment for most lifted and modified trucks. Adjustments to camber, caster, and toe on the front axle, with a road-test before and after.
- 4-wheel alignment: $399. For trucks and SUVs with adjustable rear suspension geometry, or rear axles that have shifted. Adjustments to all four wheels.
- Pre-alignment inspection: $99. Not sure if you need a full alignment? Bring your truck in for a 30-minute inspection -we'll check current angles, suspension wear, and tracking, then tell you whether a full alignment is actually needed.
