Lifted Truck Alignment Burnaby
Get Your Truck Tracking Straight Again
Does your lifted truck wander on the highway, pull to one side, or wear through tires faster than expected?
A standard alignment isn't always enough once you've installed a lift kit, larger tires, aftermarket suspension, or upgraded steering components.
At Overland Garage, we specialize in alignments for lifted trucks, off-road vehicles, and modified 4x4s. Using our advanced alignment system, we adjust your vehicle based on how it's actually built and driven—not just factory specifications.
Serving Burnaby, Vancouver, Coquitlam, Surrey, North Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland.
Common Signs You Need a Lifted Truck Alignment
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, your alignment may be the cause:
- Truck wanders on the highway
- Steering feels loose or unstable
- Constant steering corrections while driving
- Steering wheel is off-center
- Vehicle pulls left or right
- Uneven tire wear
- Feathering or cupping on tires
- Poor handling after installing a lift kit
- Reduced fuel economy
- Vibration after suspension modifications
Many drivers assume these issues are caused by tires or suspension parts when alignment angles are actually the root problem.
Why Lifted Trucks Require Specialized Alignment
When you lift a truck, you change critical suspension geometry.
Even a small increase in ride height can affect:
- Caster
- Camber
- Toe
- Steering angle
- Suspension travel
Most alignment shops simply return everything to factory specifications.
The problem?
Factory settings were designed for stock ride height and stock tires.
Lifted trucks often need adjustments that improve:
- Highway tracking
- Steering feel
- Tire life
- Driver confidence
- Overall drivability

What We Check During Your Alignment
Every vehicle is different, but we commonly inspect:
Suspension Components
- Control arms
- Ball joints
- Bushings
- Tie rods
- Steering components
Tire Wear
We identify wear patterns that can reveal:
- Excessive toe
- Incorrect camber
- Lack of caster
- Suspension issues
Alignment Angles
We carefully measure and adjust:
- Caster
- Camber
- Toe
These three angles have the biggest impact on how your truck feels on the road.
Highway Wander? Caster May Be the Problem
One of the most common complaints after a lift is:
"My truck feels nervous on the highway."
In many cases, insufficient caster is the cause.
Proper caster settings can help:
- Improve straight-line stability
- Reduce steering wander
- Improve highway confidence
- Reduce driver fatigue
This is one reason lifted trucks often require more attention than a standard alignment.
Protect Your Tires
A set of quality all-terrain tires can cost thousands of dollars.
Improper alignment can cause:
- Premature wear
- Feathering
- Edge wear
- Reduced tire life
A proper alignment is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your tire investment.
