So this kit is amazing. I purchased the MT Trail Runner kit for my 19' Tacoma. I wanted something that rides like oem, but is capable for offroad. I debated for awhile with so many choices from great manufacturers of suspension systems. But one thing is common in 99% of the systems. They are most set up for just off road. The Trail Runner bridges that gap. Let's be honest 80% of people only own one rig and it's their daily. Me personally I'm in the woods here in the PNW like one to two weekends a month. And I will say out of all the lift kits I've installed on rigs I've own. This one is by far the smoothest riding one yet. From riding around town it feels like oem. On the logging roads it comes alive. Sure footed and just as smooth as if it was on pavement. I can't praise this kit enough. So if you're on the fence, just get it. You will not be disappointed. read more

Pretty disappointed with the quality of work... I have been painting and welding, doing the work that should have been done by Dirt King during my paid install of a long travel kit for my 2006 T4R. Attention to detail is very lacking; however, with my attention to detail and whatever I paid them to do, I should have a robust and corrosion resistant install. Note to dirt king: plain carbon steel will rust sitting in a climate controlled garage.... SMH DETAILS LACKING: Unpainted CS brackets, some externally facing surfaces left unpainted; internally facing surfaces all left unpainted, Zirk fitting caps missing; welds missing on key suspension parts ( though dirt king says if I bring it back they'll weld what they missed); ALL INTERNAL SURFACES FACING ENGINE LEFT UNWELDED. I am sure I will find more but pretty dissatisfied with the finish work of this install. If you like doing extra work when you pay top dollar for an install, look no further! read more

Just wanted to give a quick thank you to Nick and his team at Dirt King. Nick helped me out personally with some new wheels, tires, and Billstein 5100's.

Give them your business you won't be disappointed. Thank you Nick and Dirt King team. read more

Amazing customer service! The full suspension that i got rides very smooth on and off road! Thank you!

While I'm certain all the guys at Dirt King are great, I was fortunate to speak with Jaren regarding the MT Trail Runner Kit for my 25' Silverado. After exchanging about a dozen emails and some driveway mechanic questions, I'm not a pro, he had me squared away. Parts arrived a few days after ordering and took about 4 hours to install in the driveway. Truck rides incredibly well considering LA streets are close to Mexicos dirt roads now, and that a huge plus! Thanks Dirt King! read more

These guys are top notch, great customer service, great products and great craftsmanship.

DK seems like they make awesome parts! While I haven't installed my new UCAs for my 4th gen 4Runner, I can definitely tell these are bulletproof. on top of it, they are fully rebuildable with moog ball joints. They were also packaged extremely well to make sure there were no damages. Great job to their shipping and receiving team, I'll definitely be returning! read more

Great service and products. They installed the suspension perfectly and for a price that beats most other shops. Definitely recommend.

Called Dirt king last week in santee and spoke to nick i think and sorry if i got the name wrong . I let him know I was having issues with a bounce in my 2016 f250 superduty I just installed a carli back country kit recently. I didn't get it through them. I brought my truck buy this week they thought it might of been a tire balance issue. They test drove called carli suspension and confirmed on what the nitrogen should be in the shocks. They were a little lower then what carli said so dirt king put the correct pressure they checked the tourq on everything but it's seems to be more then a tire balance issue. And somthing i have to get in contact with carli suspension.Every one at dirt king was super helpful and super friendly. Also great looking shop I'll probably be back soon to go buy a couple shirts and will defintly do business with them in the future. read more

I purchased the full catalog of parts for my Tacoma from dirt over the course of a year and I can say that dirt king was awesome every step of the way! they had an answer for every question I had. and when it came time to install everything I ran into a few issues and they did not hesitate to help me get them squared away. on every build I get if dirt king makes parts for it then that's what is going on it! read more

I made the mistake of shopping late last night and entered the wrong shipping and billing information. I emailed customer service regarding the order an hour or so after I placed the order hoping I could get help. I stressed out hard when I saw shipping notification that my order was on the way! But, Joseph B. was on top of things and had already fixed it before I tried calling soon after they opened this morning. He had already corrected the information and reassured me it was fixed. He didn't have to do this since it was ultimately my error, but he did and put my mind at ease. I so appreciate that I didn't get a recording or have to enter an automated nightmare to get a hold of someone to help me! Dirt King, you've got a gem of an employee! Joseph was responsive and so professional when I called. In this day and age of less person to person customer service, thank you for having Joseph on your team! Keep it up, Joseph! Because of you, I plan to spread the word about Dirt King and you! read more

Shocks feel amazing and look amazing but the spring has so much pre load I can't adjust the ride height

I certainly wish I could give 5 stars here. Good communication and service but after the install of new Fox suspension on a Tacoma, I had to go back two times to get the alignment right. Once that was solved, I had a good amount of tire rub. Before any work was done, I was told this would be addressed if needed and apparently all was good. After the 3rd alignment, I took the truck back, they made some minor cuts and said the rubbing was solved. After driving away and a few tight turns the issue is still there. There is no doubt these guys know what they're doing and good at the customer interaction part, but I wish I would have walked away with the job being done. The suspension part seems great, but the overall truck is now not right. read more

Super easy to communicate with all the guys, and makes a great product. Definitely a customer for life.

I've got a set of UCAs in my Tacoma and they're awesome. Well built, allow for proper alignment specs, reliable, and look great. I had a set of SPCs in my Tacoma for a while and they were not great, they made noise, my steering walked, and constantly needed realigning. The ball joints and bushings were defective from the start. The DKs are quiet, feel solid, and were easy to install and align. Set it and forget it. The poly bushings feel super solid. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Nick and all the guys at Dirt King are awesome! They built my 4RNR almost 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. Recently, I started having a little vibration in my steering wheel and Nick made an appointment to take a look. Turns out I just needed a balance and alignment. They spent over an hour of their time checking it out, balanced my tires free of charge and refered me to Ryan at Truline for the alignment, also a great experience. The guys at Dirt King know what they are doing, they are professional and honest, and so patient with those less knowledgeable. I appreciate you all, Thank you! read more

A massive shoutout to Joseph, Paul, Nick and Derek. This was the first time taking on such a huge build by myself. I'm definitely on the slow end of things and they answered my every call and every email with great attitudes and the perfect advice to get my truck off jacks and driving again. I'm sure they wanted to block my number by the end. They were amazing. Thank you Dirt King! read more

Dirt King - 2014 Silverado 1500 4WD long travel kit - Auto Customization Near Me - San Diego, California

These guys really know what they're doing. Purchased a long travel kit for the 19+ Silverado/Sierra platform. It's a new kit so a few little kinks to work out, but they are very helpful over the phone to answer questions about anything. They did a very good job working with King to have coilovers valved well for their kit. Rides well on the street and eats up big bumps off-road very well. Haven't even put in bypasses yet up front, but there is very good bottoming control while still being compliant for the smaller bumps. Attention to detail is very good, everything needed is included in the kit. It is all high quality and american made. Would not hesitate to purchase their products again. read more

Very good service always kept in touch but the only thing i will complain about is all the extra stuff they have you buy then tell you after already installed that they cant mess with electric or fluids so now you have to go pay an arm in leg somewhere else to connect the stuff they had you buy which is kinda foul but they have good customer service. read more

I cannot speak more highly of a company than I do this one. From the quality of their products to the level of customer service. Massive shout out to Drew he has helped me every step of the way with my suspension questions. There a lot of brands out there but nothing competes with the dirt kings quality and experience. read more

I have new Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD with an icon lift and larger than stock tires. I was having a problem on tight turns tire rub. (The lift was done someplace else or I'm sure it would've been taken care of, dirt king would have done it right the 1st time ) Turns out that dirt king fabrication has a very efficient and good looking fix for this problem. They made my truck right in less than a half a day, it looks better than it did when it was new, this is a high quality shop that I would recommend to anyone. I'm going to have them level out my raptor next. read more

Great products. Customer service is also top notch. Their response time is very quick and very detailed. They know how to treat prospective and returning customers. Great customer service is how you keep a business. read more

I can't explain my gratitude for this place I bought suspension from them and upper control arms very high-quality stuff, then had a local shop install it for me and they fucked up the shock and didn't take responsibility for what they did (Noble Motorsport) pual the sales person at dirt king , didn't hesitate to help me one bit, answered all his phone calls, and also always told me to keep in the loop he went to give me his personal number to call him and try to make everything right I can explain how happy and satisfied I am with Pual at dirtkings. Thank you. This is only half of what good I have to say about them read more

Paul did a hell of a job helping me figure out my LCA scenario. I bought a used LCA from a friend and we both didn't know the car were year specific. From calling support and to finding the parts I needed was a breeze. Figured out we can definitely use the LCA but need to replace the bushings and sleeve. Customer service was top notch and communication was flawless. I love it when businesses tell you "I'll call you by end of day" and keep that promise. Paul is the man!!! He also helped me cancel my previous order (caught it right before it got shipped) and redid the correct parts to purchase. Saved me from paying double for shipping. :) THANK YOU AGAIN, PAUL! read more

Not many Companies left in the world that offer the level of service Dirt King provides. What started as an inquire of upper control arms turned into a mid travel setup. My first interaction was with Paul over the phone very professional and answered every question I had, and I asked a lot of questions. Initially started with just parts, asked about wheel pricing was able to get the best price on a specific set I was looking at, which let into a mid travel installation I scheduled one 5 months out due to availability they were booked but well worth the wait. For installation and service I was put in contact with Nick G! The man! Truly went above and beyond he set my appointment up even contacted me for an earlier appointment that opened up but I was unable to make it still nice to know that they were able to do that for me. So fast forward to the install day, I have to include I traveled 2 hours from LA multiple times and I'd do it again for the service provided. Dropped off the truck for a mid travel + fender trimming, + wheel mounting, and alignment was told end of day following day. No cut corners fast, efficient and professional work. Day of pick up comes as I'm heading out the door nick calls to inform me of there being an issue with one of my wheels not being true and they aren't able to properly balance it. Everything was completed on time. So I make it down there. Nick already has a video showing me the issue and the issue was a wheel manufacturer defect. A defect that probably would went unnoticed initially, but the integrity that this shop has let me tell you. So Nick reaches out on my behalf to the wheel company long story short the wheel company isn't wanting to take care of it because i had custom polished and Powdercoated the wheel. Nick assured me and delivered on taking care of it. The new wheel was shipped to the wheel guy I used who polished and Powdercoated the wheels for me to match my set. Truck came out perfect everything I wanted. Mind you this my daily driver with a mid travel not a trophy truck or crazy long travel build but the customer service level was the to those levels. So a big thank you to Nick G, Paul , and all the Dirt King crew for your professionalism and top class customer service. I highly recommend these guys for all of their services, do it you won't regret it. read more

I have had 3 trucks and each one has had a set of their Upper Control Arms. Recently had an "issue" with the set (that were installed by a different place) and come to find out the issue was the other shop. Greg and Nick are awesome and had "issue" taken care of. It was as simple as using the right grease. Thanks again guys. read more

I bought my long travel kit from them back in May of 2019 . Nick and I had been talking back and fourth about me getting the kit on and of for awhile previous to the purchase. The kit is everything Nick said it would be x100. Love it in the dirt, running their uniball/heim lt kit for the 4runner on their DK spec/tuned RR King 2.5 coilovers. The front end soaks up the whoops pretty dang good. 16 clicks to the soft side on the resi, and presto, buttery front end! Great customer service, thanks again! read more

The reason I went with Dirt Kings Upper Control Arms for my Tacoma is because they are local San Diegans and I can just go to them if I ever had any issues. After I a day of off roading I began to hear squeaking coming from my UCAs. I tried cleaning them but we're still squeaking. I called Dirt King and spoke with Greg who said to come by so he can look at them. When I got there he said they just needed to be lubed. He did it right there on the spot and even went on a test drive with me! You don't find much service like that. The squeaking went away after a day and I'm one happy customer. Keep up the good work Greg and dirt king! You now have a life long customer! read more
