Wheel alignment
Wheel Alignments — Including Trucks Other Shops Cannot Handle
Modern computerized alignment equipment, and a rack rated to about 18,000 lb. Cars and pickups, lifted trucks, duallys and commercial vehicles.
What we can align
The equipment is the reason this list is longer than most shops can offer.
- Passenger cars, SUVs and crossovers
- Pickups and light trucks
- Lifted trucks — including after a new lift or leveling kit
- Dually trucks
- Commercial vehicles
- Up to approximately 18,000 lb
Why other shops send alignments here
A tire shop that cannot align a lifted truck has two options: turn the customer away, or send them somewhere that can. Around here, a fair amount of that work comes to Airport Tire.
It is not a marketing line — it is what happens, and it is the clearest evidence we can offer that the equipment and the capability are real. Shops do not refer their own customers out casually.
If you run a shop and need alignment capacity you do not have, call 903-873-5555.
Signs you may need an alignment
Any one of these is worth having looked at.
- The vehicle pulls to one side on a straight, level road
- Tires are wearing unevenly — one edge going faster than the rest
- The steering wheel sits off-center while you are driving straight
- After front-end or suspension work
- After a lift or leveling kit changes the ride height
- After a hard hit — a curb, a pothole or a piece of road debris
Not everything that feels like an alignment problem is one — a vibration at speed is more often balance. We will tell you which it is rather than aligning something that does not need it.
Front end and suspension
An alignment is often the symptom rather than the cause. Worn tie rods, ball joints, bushings or a tired steering component will pull a vehicle out again shortly after it is set.
Front-end and suspension work is done here, so the underlying problem and the alignment can be handled in the same visit instead of across two shops.
Big trucks and lift kits
Big-truck spin balancing
Heavy trucks need different equipment from a passenger car, and that equipment is here. A commercial vehicle that shakes is not always an alignment problem.
After a lift or leveling kit
Changing ride height changes the geometry. Lift and leveling kits are fitted here, and the alignment afterwards is done on the same rack rather than sent elsewhere.

Most people call — it is usually the fastest way to get a real answer. If it is easier to type it out, send the details and we will get back to you.
Request a tire quote
Have your tire size ready if you can — it is on the sidewall, and plenty of people run a size different from what the vehicle came with.
