Let Perfectionist Install Your Pickup Truck or SUV Leveling Kit

By

Truck LevelingWhether you’re looking for that perfect stance or want to run taller tires, a pickup truck or SUV suspension leveling kit from Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage is the perfect upgrade. We don’t just supply the parts; our expert technicians can install the strut or spring spacers or new keys to get you back on the road quickly.

What Is a Truck Leveling Kit?

Truck LevelingIf you’ve looked at any of the popular pickup trucks sitting on the dealership lot, you’ll see most of them have a slight nose-down rake and usually more clearance around the rear wheels. A leveling kit allows us to raise the front of your vehicle between 1 and 2.5 inches (depending on the model) to put the truck level to the ground. Once level, you can run a larger front tire to increase ground clearance, and your truck will look “right” whether it’s rolling down the road or parked.

Depending on the design of the suspension, leveling kits come in different styles. Some use upper or lower strut spacers, while others use spring spacers, new torsion keys or redesigned upper control arms. We carry popular brands like Zone Off-Road, Ready Lift, Rough Country, BDS and Fabtech. While working on the truck, we can replace the struts and shocks with upgraded units from Fox Racing or adjustable solutions from Bilstein.

Our leveling solutions include all the hardware required to ensure that brake lines are routed for safe operation and ABS sensors continue to function perfectly. Some kits, like the Zone Offroad solution for the Jeep Gladiator, include bump-stop extensions and sway-bar end links.

After everything is installed and all the fasteners are torqued back to factory specifications, we’ll make sure your vehicle is aligned to handle properly and not wear out your tires. We can even re-aim your headlights, fog lights or driving lights to ensure that you can see safely and won’t blind oncoming drivers.

New Custom Seat Covers Bring 2014 GMC Sierra Interior to Life

By

A customer stopped by here at Perfectionist Auto Sound looking to upgrade the look of the interior of his 2014 GMC Sierra truck. He wanted his seats to complement the silver trim inside the vehicle. He was not a fan of the factory cloth seats and wanted a different material and sleeker design. In addition to a new look for the seats, he also wanted them to be heated.

We designed the seats using silver contrast stitching and a two-toned light-gray center. The seats looked great and matched the rest of the interior perfectly.

We then installed the button for the new heated seats on the dash, and it looked like it had come straight from the factory. The customer was happy and loved the new look of his truck.

For all your interior needs, Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security has you covered. Stop by the shop — we would love to customize your vehicle to fit your style!

2008 GMC Sierra Gets Rigid Industries Light Bar Upgrade for Night Driving

By

A repeat client from Anchorage came back to visit us here at Perfectionist Auto Sound to talk about some lighting upgrades for his 2008 GMC Sierra. With the low visibility that comes with winters in Alaska, additional lighting is a must. Not to mention that this customer travels throughout the state where little light reaches the backroads.

For all of our aftermarket lighting needs, we push Rigid Industries, a brand we have come to love here at Perfectionist. We fitted the customer’s vehicle with a Rigid light bar, fog lights, low and high beams, and side shooting lights. The customer was so happy on picking up their vehicle and was excited to be able to use their new lights.

Winters in Alaska can be quite dangerous for driving, with low visibility among the many safety concerns. Let us help you be safe and feel safe in your vehicle with additional lighting to overcome these winter safety obstacles. We can outfit your vehicle with the perfect lighting solution, no matter what your needs may be!

Alpine Radio and Pioneer Speaker Upgrade for 2000 GMC Sierra Truck

By

A client from Anchorage came to Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security in search of new speakers and a stereo for their 2000 GMC Sierra. Our team spent time with the client, getting to know them better by listening to what specific features they were looking for and taking a look at the vehicle to see what the best fit would be. We then spent some time looking over some products that we thought would best suit their needs. We worked up a proposal for the client that they liked, so we set an appointment to do the work.

Our team installed a single-DIN Alpine stereo in the dash to replace the original head unit. We also installed 4″x 6″ Pioneer speakers. After finishing the installation, we went over the operation of the products with the client, and they were pleased with how it all worked.

If you would like to add new speakers to your vehicle or upgrade the stereo system, we would love for you to stop by Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security to speak with any of our knowledgeable staff, or you can simply contact us here.

Lighting Upgrade for Anchorage GMC Sierra 2500

By

Truck LightingA client from here in Anchorage contacted the team at Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security to inquire about a lighting upgrade for his 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 pickup truck. The client wanted better fog lights to help light the area adjacent to the road as well as a high-output driving light that would provide long-range illumination. After inspecting the vehicle, we put together a package that would deliver amazing performance and reliability.

GMC Sierra Fog Light Upgrade

Truck Lighting
The corners of the bumpers received a Rigid fog light upgrade.

We started the project by removing the front grille and bumper from the truck. The first order of business was to mount a set of Rigid Industries 504813 D-Series fog light pods in the bumper using a Rigid 46543 mounting kit. These lights create an SAE-compliant light pattern that makes them legal for use on public roads. The wide 52-degree beam angle ensures that any animals at the sides of the road are illuminated clearly to make night driving safer. Our team wired the new lights into the original fog light circuit so that they can be controlled with the original fog light switch.

High-Performance Lighting

With the fog light upgrade installed, the next step was to mount a combination spot and driving light upgrade just behind the front grille. We proposed the Rigid 931314 SR-Series 30-inch light bar because it would provide illumination out to more than 600 feet.

Our team took a series of measurements that would locate the light in the very center of the lower opening in the grille. Based on the information we gathered, we fabricated a set of custom mounting brackets that bolt to the front radiator support to ensure that the light is solid and secure. Of course, we protected the brackets with corrosion-resistant paint so they would look good and be reliable.

With the brackets in place and the bar mounted, our team integrated the wiring for the new light into the factory high-beam control circuit. We wrapped all the wires in automotive-grade cloth tape to protect them from the elements, then secured everything to using zip ties to prevent issues from vibration as the truck travels down the road. We finished the project by aiming the lights for perfect long-range performance that won’t blind oncoming drivers.
