PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
LIFT KIT VS. LEVELING KIT
A leveling kit typically raises only the front of the truck to reduce the factory rake. A lift kit raises the truck more significantly and may include front and rear suspension components.
​
For customers primarily looking to eliminate the nose-down factory stance, a leveling kit may be enough. For larger tires, increased ground clearance or a more dramatic stance, a full lift kit is usually the better option. Compare leveling kits.
LIFT KITS
Truck Lift Kits & Installation
Upgrade your truck with a professionally installed lift kit in Rockwall, TX. Improve ground clearance, tire clearance, stance and off-road capability.
At TX Truck Accessories, we help truck owners choose and professionally install lift kits designed around the way they actually use their truck. Whether you want enough clearance for larger wheels and tires, better capability on trails and rough terrain, or simply want your truck to sit taller and look more aggressive, we can help you build the right setup.
​
Lift kits can modify several suspension components depending on the vehicle and the amount of lift desired. A properly designed system maintains appropriate suspension geometry while increasing ride height and available clearance.

Wheels & Tires
Off-Road & Custom Truck Wheels & Tires
Upgrading your truck's wheels and tires can improve appearance, traction, off-road capability and overall stance. The correct wheel diameter, width, offset and tire size must work together with your suspension and vehicle clearance.
Few upgrades change the appearance of a truck as quickly as a new wheel and tire package. But choosing truck wheels and tires isn't just about picking a design you like. Wheel size, tire diameter, wheel width, offset, suspension height and available clearance all need to work together.
​
Our team can help you build a combination that looks right and fits your truck correctly.
BENEFITS
More aggressive truck styling
Improved off-road traction
WIlder stance depending on wheel configuration
Larger tire options
Better capability in mud, gravel, or uneven terrain

BED COVERS
TRUCK BED COVERS & INSTALLATION
Truck bed covers protect cargo from weather and help keep items in the truck bed out of sight. Options include folding, rolling, retractable and hard tonneau covers.
Your truck bed gives you a tremendous amount of cargo space, but without a cover everything in the bed is exposed. A truck bed cover helps protect tools, luggage, equipment and everyday cargo while giving the truck a cleaner finished appearance. We offer bed cover solutions for a wide range of pickup trucks and can help you determine which design works best for your needs.
COMMON BED COVER OPTIONS
Hard folding covers

Running Boards vs. Side Steps
Running boards usually provide a continuous stepping surface along the cab.
​
Side steps typically provide smaller individual stepping areas positioned below each door. Compare side steps.
Running boards
Truck Running Boards Installation
Running boards provide a wide stepping surface along the side of a truck, making it easier for passengers to enter and exit the vehicle. They are especially useful on lifted or taller trucks.
Running boards make getting into a truck easier without sacrificing appearance. Running boards typically provide a longer and wider stepping surface than traditional side steps.
ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR
Lifted trucks
Children
Work trucks with frequent entry and exit
Families
Shorter passengers
Make getting in easier
We'll help you pick the right step for your truck and passengers.
Suspension
Truck Suspension Upgrades & Installation
Truck suspension upgrades can change ride height, handling, off-road performance, and suspension capability. Common upgrades include shocks, struts, springs, control arms, lift systems, and leveling kits.
Your truck's suspension does much more than determine ride height. It controls how the truck reacts to bumps, corners, weight transfer and changing terrain.
Upgrading suspension components can help create a truck better suited for your specific use, whether that's daily driving, off-roading, towing or building a customized lifted truck.
Common Suspension Upgrades
Shocks
Coil springs
Lift components
Performance suspension system
Struts
Control arms
Leveling compponents
Reasons to Upgrade
Improve ride control
Improve off-road capability
Increase suspension travel with certain system
Support lift or leveling modifications
Replace worn factory components
Correct suspension geometry after modifications
Dial in your ride
From worn factory parts to full builds, we'll set it up right.
Grill Guard vs. Aftermarket Bumper
A grill guard typically mounts in front of the factory bumper and grill.
An aftermarket bumper replaces the original bumper entirely and can provide more extensive protection and accessory mounting options. Compare bumpers.
Grill Guards
Truck Grill Guards & Brush Guards
A grill guard is a protective structure mounted to the front of a truck that helps shield the grill, headlights, and front-end components from brush, debris, and minor impacts.
A grill guard adds both protection and a rugged appearance to the front of your truck. A properly fitted guard can help protect vulnerable front-end components from brush, branches and debris.

Toolboxes
Truck Toolboxes & Bed Storage
A truck toolbox provides secure, organized storage for tools and equipment while keeping the main portion of the truck bed available for cargo.

Benefits
Organized tool storage
Helps keep tools secure
Faster access to frequently used tools
Better protection from weather
Keeps equipment from sliding throughout the bed
COMMON STYLES

Side Steps
Truck Side Steps
Truck side steps provide designated stepping points beneath the doors to make entering and exiting a pickup easier without installing a full-length running board.
Side steps offer a rugged, compact way to improve access to your truck. Side steps can provide the functionality of a running board while maintaining a more open, off-road-inspired appearance.
Especially Useful After Installing
Larger tires
Lift Kits
Leveling Kits
benefits
Easier access to the cab
Aggressive exterior appearance
Available in numerous styles and finishes
Useful on lifted trucks
Smaller footprint than full running boards
Step up your truck
We'll help you choose a style and finish that fits.
Side Steps vs. Running Boards
Choose running boards when passenger convenience and a large stepping surface are most important.
​
Choose side steps when you want a smaller, more rugged design with dedicated step locations. Compare running boards.
Leveling Kit vs. Lift Kit
Leveling Kit: primarily raises the front.
​
Lift Kit: raises the entire vehicle and generally provides more total height and ground clearance. Compare lift kits.
LEVELING KITS
Truck Leveling Kits & Installation
A leveling kit raises the front of a truck to reduce or eliminate the factory nose-down stance known as rake. Leveling kits can also provide additional front tire clearance for slightly larger tires.
Most trucks leave the factory sitting slightly higher in the rear than the front. This is called factory rake. A leveling kit raises the front suspension so the truck sits closer to level from front to rear.
It's one of the most popular truck modifications because it can dramatically improve stance without installing a full suspension lift.
Benefits
Reduces factory rake
Allows additional front tire clearance
Less extensive modification than many full lift kits
Creates a more level stance
Improves overall truck appearance

We'll help you decide between a leveling kit and a full lift.
Tonneau Covers
Tonneau Covers & Installation
A tonneau cover is a cover installed over a pickup truck bed that helps protect cargo from weather, keep items out of sight and maintain easy access to the bed.
A tonneau cover turns an open pickup bed into a more protected and versatile cargo area. Whether your truck carries tools during the week, luggage on the weekend, or everyday gear year-round, a tonneau cover gives you an easy way to protect what you carry.
​
We can help you compare different styles based on how often you use your truck bed and how much accessibility or security you need.
Types of Tonneau Covers
Hard Folding Covers: Durable panels fold toward the cab, providing a strong combination of security and bed access.
