Wheelbase Modifications
While manufacturers offer standard chassis configurations, many vocational applications require custom wheelbase dimensions. Adjusting a truck’s wheelbase can improve weight distribution, accommodate specialized equipment, or prepare the truck for a new body installation.
Our team performs both wheelbase extensions and wheelbase reductions to meet manufacturer specifications and customer requirements. Whether you’re preparing a truck for a dump body, roll-off system, hooklift, service body, or another application, we can modify your chassis to fit the job.

No matter the complexity of the project, our technicians can develop solutions that meet your operational requirements.
Grade 8 Frame Bolts
The strength of a frame modification is only as good as the hardware used to complete it. That’s why we utilize high-quality Grade 8 frame bolts and fasteners when performing structural frame repairs and modifications.
Grade 8 hardware is designed to withstand the demanding conditions commercial trucks face every day, including heavy loads, road vibration, and harsh operating environments. By using premium-grade fasteners and following industry best practices, we help ensure every frame modification maintains the strength, safety, and reliability your truck requires.
Our commitment to quality materials and workmanship helps protect the long-term integrity of your vehicle.
