A full build is not an afternoon job. It is not a parts swap. And it is definitely not something you should rush, no matter how bad you want it done.
We have been doing this for ten years out of Edmond. In that time we have built everything from a simple leveling kit with a wheel swap all the way up to full LS-swapped muscle cars and 10-inch lifted dually SuperDutys with custom paint, train horns, air ride, rock lights, and forged wheels. The process looks different depending on what you are building. But the bones are the same every time.
Here is how it actually goes.
It Starts With a Real Conversation
When you reach out for a quote, we are not going to send you a price sheet. We are going to ask questions. What do you drive? How do you use it? What is the look you are going for? Do you have a budget in mind or do you need us to help you figure that out?
The reason we do this is pretty simple. A customer who drives an F-250 for work on job sites every day has completely different needs than someone building a show truck. The right lift kit, the right suspension setup, the right wheel and tire combination, it all changes based on how you actually live with the truck.
We will come back to you with a real number within 24 to 72 hours. Not a range. Not a "starting at." A number that reflects what your build actually costs with the parts we would actually use.
The Deposit Locks the Slot
Once you say yes and put down 50 percent, a few things happen immediately. Your build slot gets locked in the schedule. Parts get ordered. And your truck enters the queue.
Right now we are running about a week out before we can get a new build started. That can stretch depending on what is already on the floor and what parts need to be sourced. Some components take longer to come in than others. Specialty wheels, certain lift components, custom parts. We will tell you upfront if anything has a longer lead time so you are not waiting on us wondering what is going on.
On the Floor
This is the part nobody sees but it is where all the real work happens.
A leveling kit with a wheel and tire swap might take us a day or two. A full suspension build can take a week. A complete ground-up build with paint, custom fabrication, electrical, audio, and a lift can run four to eight weeks. The timeline is not a guess. It is based on actual scope.
While your truck is on the floor we take photos. Progress shots, fitment checks, the stuff that matters. If something comes up during the build, a fitment issue, a parts delay, anything that changes the scope or timeline, we call you. You are not going to hear crickets for three weeks and then get a phone call that the truck is ready.
What Full Build Actually Means
When we say full build we mean everything gets touched. Suspension gets spec'd for the application, not just bolted on. Wheels and tires get mounted, balanced, and torqued by the same people who built the suspension. Accessories, lighting, audio, power steps, bed systems, all of it gets integrated clean. No zip ties. No rattling. No "we will figure it out when it is on the truck."
That level of attention is why our builds look the way they do. It is also why we are not the cheapest shop in Oklahoma.
The Reveal
When your truck is done we do a full walkthrough before you ever touch the keys. We go over everything that was done, show you how things work, make sure you know what you have. If something is not right we fix it before you leave.
Then we take photos for the gallery. Because every build that rolls out of RAW is a one of one and it deserves to be documented.
After that the truck is yours. You drive it home in something nobody else has. That is the whole point of doing this in the first place.
If you have questions about what a build would look like for your specific truck, just reach out. We do not mind talking through it before you are ready to commit. That is what the quote form is for.
