Gain Ground Clearance That Holds Up

Lift kit installation for trucks in Casper, Wyoming.

When you drive through snow-covered back roads, uneven terrain outside Casper, or trails that haven't been graded in years, your truck's factory ride height can become a limitation. A lift kit raises your vehicle's frame or body to create more clearance between the undercarriage and the ground, allowing you to run larger tires, avoid obstacles, and handle rough conditions without scraping or bottoming out.

Extreme Truck Outfitters installs suspension and body lift kits designed to increase ground clearance while maintaining safe handling and drivability. Suspension lifts replace or extend components like springs, shocks, and control arms to raise the entire chassis. Body lifts insert spacers between the frame and body to create height without altering suspension geometry. Each type serves different needs, and the right choice depends on how you use your truck and what you want it to do.

If you're looking to lift your truck in Casper and want it done with attention to alignment and safety, get in touch to talk through your options.

Suspension components are replaced in sequence with calibrated tools

When you schedule a lift installation at Extreme Truck Outfitters in Casper, the truck is raised on a lift and the wheels are removed. If it's a suspension lift, the factory shocks, springs, and sometimes control arms or track bars are removed and replaced with longer or reinforced components. Brake lines and wiring may be extended or rerouted to accommodate the new ride height. For body lifts, spacer blocks are installed between the frame and body mounts, and hardware is torqued to prevent shifting.

After the lift is installed, your truck will sit noticeably higher, with increased clearance beneath the axles and differential. You'll be able to fit larger tires without rubbing against the wheel wells, and your approach and departure angles will improve for navigating steep inclines or rocky trails. The ride may feel slightly firmer, especially with a suspension lift, but the truck will handle more predictably on uneven ground.

Most lift installations require a post-install alignment to correct camber, caster, and toe settings that shift when ride height changes. Without alignment, your tires will wear unevenly and steering may pull to one side. Some kits also call for driveline modifications if the lift exceeds a certain height. The service does not include tire upgrades, but those are often planned in tandem with the lift to maximize performance and appearance.

Most concerns are about ride quality and legality

Before committing to a lift, people usually want to know how it affects daily driving, whether it requires other modifications, and what height limits apply.

What is the difference between a suspension lift and a body lift?
A suspension lift raises the entire chassis by replacing or extending suspension parts, improving off-road capability and allowing larger tires. A body lift uses spacers to raise only the body, creating clearance without changing suspension geometry or ride quality.

How does a lift kit affect how my truck drives?
Your truck will sit higher and may feel less stable in sharp turns due to a higher center of gravity. Suspension lifts can improve off-road handling but may create a firmer ride on pavement. Alignment and proper installation reduce most handling issues.

Why do I need an alignment after installing a lift?
Lifting your truck changes the angles of your suspension components, which throws off wheel alignment. Without correction, your tires will wear unevenly and your steering will pull to one side, especially at highway speeds.

Can I install a lift on any truck?
Most trucks can accommodate a lift kit, but the type and height depend on your truck's make, model, and intended use. Extreme Truck Outfitters confirms compatibility and recommends kits that work with your vehicle's frame and suspension design.

How high can I lift my truck in Wyoming?
Wyoming does not have strict bumper height laws, but federal safety standards and insurance considerations may limit how high you go. Most street-legal builds stay within two to six inches of lift to maintain drivability and compliance.

Lifting your truck changes how it performs on trails, in snow, and across uneven ground, but only if the work is done correctly and followed by proper alignment. If you're ready to add clearance to your truck in Casper, contact Extreme Truck Outfitters to plan a lift that fits how you drive.
