Professional Leveling Kit Installation | SSD Motorsports Bakersfield
PERFECT YOUR TRUCK'S STANCE WITH EXPERT PRECISION
Eliminate factory rake and achieve the perfect balanced stance with SSD Motorsports' professional leveling kit installation. Our Bakersfield specialists deliver the ideal combination of improved appearance and maintained functionality for trucks and Jeeps.
WHY YOUR TRUCK NEEDS PROFESSIONAL LEVELING
Most trucks come from the factory with a "nose-down" stance – a deliberate design that accounts for heavy loads in the bed. This creates:
An unbalanced appearance when unloaded
Limited front tire clearance
Restricted wheel/tire upgrade options
Reduced approach angle capability
Compromised overall aesthetics
A professional leveling kit installation from SSD Motorsports resolves these issues while maintaining your vehicle's load capacity and ride quality.
THE PROBLEM WITH FACTORY RAKE
Factory rake might serve a functional purpose for occasional heavy hauling, but for most truck owners, it creates:
An awkward, unfinished appearance
Restricted tire size options for the front
Uneven wear patterns over time
Limited approach angle for clearing obstacles
A visually smaller front end
Without addressing this imbalance, your truck will continue to look like it's missing something – that finished, purpose-built appearance that commands attention.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will a leveling kit void my truck's warranty?
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects consumers from blanket warranty denials. Our professional installations minimize warranty concerns, and we work with many dealerships that understand the difference quality installation makes.
How will a leveling kit affect my truck's ride?
With proper component selection, most customers report minimal change in ride quality. Premium kits with matched shock absorbers can actually improve ride quality over stock.
Can I still haul heavy loads with a leveling kit?
Absolutely! A properly installed leveling kit maintains your truck's load capacity. The factory rake will return temporarily when under heavy load, exactly as designed.
How long does installation take?
Most leveling kit installations are completed within a single day.
What's the difference between cheap and premium leveling kits?
Material quality, precision manufacturing, corrosion resistance, and engineering design all separate premium kits from budget alternatives. The difference often becomes apparent after a few thousand miles.
ADDRESSING YOUR CONCERNS
"I'm worried about affecting my truck's ride quality"
We select components specifically designed for your vehicle that maintain or improve ride quality. Our precision installation ensures proper function of all suspension components.
"Will my truck still handle properly?"
Professional alignment after installation ensures your truck handles exactly as designed, with no unusual wear patterns or steering issues.
