Lifted Truck Shipping Experts
Lift kits, oversized tires, and off-road builds add height and width that standard carriers have to plan around. Taller trucks may only fit on the bottom deck or on a flatbed trailer.
Tell Tessa your truck's total height and modifications, and Haulin.ai will match you with a carrier that has room for your build.

Lifted Truck Shipping FAQs
Have another question? Ask Tessa →
How tall is too tall for a car carrier?
It depends on the trailer, but very tall trucks often need the bottom deck or a flatbed. Share your total height when quoting.
Does a lift kit increase shipping cost?
Yes, usually by $200–$500, because the truck needs a specific spot or trailer.
Can you ship a truck on 37-inch tires?
Often, yes, but the extra height and width must be planned. Tell us your tire size up front.
Do I need to remove my light bar?
Removing or securing it is recommended; it adds height and can be damaged in transit.
Can you ship a modified off-road truck that doesn't run?
Yes, if it rolls and steers, with a winch-equipped carrier. Mention it when you book.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Haulin matches carriers with active cargo and liability coverage. Confirm policy limits for your vehicle before booking.
How can I track my shipment?
Ask Tessa or check your shipment updates for pickup, transit, and delivery status.
