Real Work
Builds that speak for themselves.

The Way We Work
The right setup, not the most expensive one.
A good build starts with the right questions: how you use the vehicle, whether it tows, how often it leaves pavement, and what matters most (clearance, ride quality, stance or capability).
We recommend the setup that fits the vehicle and the way you drive it. That’s why customers come back and why drivers make the trip from out of town.
We won’t sell you a lift you don’t need or a tire you can’t live with. We build what fits the vehicle and the way you drive it.

Anatomy of a Build
Every part has a job. Here’s ours.
A rig is a system, not a wish list. Suspension, wheels, tires, brakes and towing gear pull on each other. Spec them together and the build works.
Wheel & Rim
Fitment • Offset • Backspacing
Right diameter, offset and backspacing so your wheels clear the fenders and suspension. No rub, no guesswork.
Tire
Load • Tread • Sidewall
Load-rated tires matched to how you drive: daily, tow, trail or overland. Mounted, balanced and torqued in-house.
Brake Rotor
Stopping power
Bigger wheels and heavier tires ask more of your brakes. We spec pads and rotors that keep pace with the build.
Ball Joint & Suspension
Geometry • Ride • Alignment
Lifts, lowers and load correction with the right upper arms, ball joints and alignment so the geometry actually works.
Hitch & Tow Setup
Draw bar • Wiring • Sway
Hitches, wiring, brake controllers and sway control installed clean, with the suspension support to tow it right.
Why 831
Built here. Trusted far beyond Hollister.
831 Trucks is a family-owned shop in Hollister, CA, running since 2002 out of a 22,000 sq. ft. facility. We build cars, trucks and SUVs — daily drivers, street builds, work rigs, tow vehicles, off-road and overland — all under one roof.
Customers drive in from San Benito County and across the South Bay and Central Coast because the advice is honest, installs are clean, and wheel, tire, suspension and alignment work is handled start to finish without sending the vehicle elsewhere.
