Let Perfectionist Install Your Pickup Truck or SUV Leveling Kit

04/21/2021 By John Schwartz

Whether 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?

If 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.

Upgraded Exterior and Interior LED Lighting for 2006 Chevrolet Silverado

02/25/2021 By John Schwartz

One of our regular customers stopped by, looking to upgrade the exterior and interior lighting on his 2006 Chevrolet Silverado. He wanted better light output at night and longer life from the bulbs, and we jumped at the chance to help.

We removed the previously installed HID headlights and cleaned up the wiring that had been there. We installed Lucas Lighting L1 LED bulbs in both his high- and low-beam headlights, as well as his fog lights. We also upgraded the interior lighting with LED bulbs for a brighter, more-uniform light when opening the doors at night.

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

Custom Suede Katzkin Interior Upgrade for 2019 Chevrolet Silverado

A customer stopped by here at Perfectionist Auto Sound, looking to upgrade the interior of her 2019 Chevrolet Silverado truck. She loved the pink look and wanted its interior to be pink and black. We decided to go with Katzkin leather seat replacements, using their suede line instead of leather.

We designed the seats using pink contrast stitching and a two-toned pink center with perforated stitching. The customer had her own pink decals in the truck already, so our replacements matched perfectly and she loved it.

DD Audio and MTI Acoustics Make a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Boom

07/24/2020 By John Schwartz

A customer came in with their 2015 Chevrolet Silverado looking to add lots of bass to their truck’s music system. After talking to the customer, we decided to go with an under-the-seat MTI Acoustics box, a brand of sub boxes we’ve recently become exclusive dealers for. The box we chose is a Stage 3 enclosure that houses three DD Audio 2508 8″ subwoofers, powered by an M2C 3500 watt amplifier.

To fit the box under the seat and assure that the vehicle could handle all of the power coming from these subs, we had to do a seat lift and upgrade all of the main factory electrical systems under the hood. We did a 2″ rear seat lift and the box fit perfectly. Even with the 8″ subwoofers, this was one of the loudest under-rear systems we’ve installed!

If you’re looking to add some, or a lot, of bass to your vehicle, stop by and see us here at Perfectionist Auto Sound. We can come up with something that will be perfectly tailored to your needs.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado Gets Fuel Vapor Wheels and Toyo Tires

06/23/2020 By John Schwartz

A customer from Eagle River, AK, came in looking for some new shoes and a 4-inch lift for their brand-new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado. With stock wheels and tires, there was nothing to make it stand out from any other truck. The customer wanted to size up and achieve a more custom look. We fitted the Silverado with some Fuel Vapors with a 19″ offset wrapped in Toyo RTs. With a 4-inch lift on top of that, the vehicle looked bigger, sleeker and better suited to our client.

If you are looking to get your vehicle fitted with some custom shoes, or to change up the suspension, stop by Perfectionist Auto and one of our sales reps can help you customize your ride.
