Long-Travel Suspension Conversions in McKinney, TX
Long-Travel Suspension Conversions by Texas Motorworx serving McKinney, TX and the broader DFW metro. Long-travel suspension is the conversion that transforms a fast factory truck into a race-grade desert truck. Texas Motorworx specializes in long-travel programs for Ford Raptor (Gen 2 and Gen 3), Bronco Raptor, Ram TRX, and Toyota Tundra/Tacoma platforms. A long-travel build replaces the stamped factory upper and lower control arms with billet/tubular pieces that move the upper ball joint outboard, then mounts new King 3.0 race-series coilovers in a relocated upper bracket. The result: 14"–16" of front travel (up from 10"–13" factory) and a chassis that finally lets the wheels work over rough terrain. Most long-travel builds run $30K–$80K and complete in 8 to 14 weeks.
McKinney, TX Customer Notes
McKinney is about 40 minutes from the TMX shop via US-75. McKinney has special meaning in our company history — Texas Motorworx started in a 2-car residential garage in McKinney in 2012 before getting evicted by the HOA and moving to the 1,100 sqft single-bay shop that became today's 12,000 sqft Farmers Branch facility.
McKinney customers today tend to be heavier on the Ford Super Duty side than the Raptor side — Collin County's mix of ranch ownership and large-property residences means F-250 and F-350 builds are a meaningful share of our McKinney customer base. We do a lot of Carli Pintop installs out of McKinney specifically.
We also see a strong Toyota Tundra and Tacoma customer base from McKinney — both factory off-road trims (TRD Pro, 4Runner Pro) tend to land in McKinney households, and many of those owners eventually upgrade to ICON Stage 7 or Total Chaos long-travel.
McKinney is close enough to Texas Motorplex and Sherman/Bonham off-road areas that local customers frequently use their builds for actual weekend trail and desert use — which matters because that drives the calibration we recommend.

From Concept to Keys
Long-travel readiness audit
Not every truck is a candidate. We start by inspecting the chassis, drivetrain, and intended use to confirm long-travel is the right path.
Kit selection & quote
SVC GenX, Camburg KINETIK, Total Chaos — the right kit is platform-specific. Fixed quote and timeline.
Teardown & install
Factory uppers, lowers, and shocks come off. New billet/tubular arms, new shocks, new geometry — installed in our 12,000 sqft Farmers Branch facility.
Rear-axle calibration
Front travel only solves half the problem. Custom Deaver leaf packs and matched rear bypass shocks let the rear axle keep up with the new front capability.
Race-program calibration & delivery
Final shock tuning calibrated against feedback from our SPEC TT/6100 race truck running the Best In the Desert series.
