I have used both Searchers and Light Line located in Baton Rouge for past suspension needs and have been satisfied with both companies. I am not biased towards either but I am biased towards good prices. I have heard of another company located on Airline Hwy but I cannot remember for find their name anywhere online. Does anybody know of the new place? I am shopping around trying to get the best price installing a leveling kit. Any other suggestions are very welcome too although I would like to try to keep it local.

I am not doing this myself because I have a bad back and its not worth fighting it when I can pay a small charge to get it done.

Not sure what one you're thinking of, but plenty of places will do it. Can't tell you whose prices are better because I don't know. Any place with a lift will probably do it.

Yeah that I know. I know that its not a hard thing to do at all, I have done a few in the past. I just want the security of mind to know its done right. I will not take it to Kirks and prefer an "off road" shop to do it.

I got a good quote from a shop in Laffy but it would equal out to some quotes that I have gotten in BR once I add gas and my alignment hookup.

Light Line only wants to install kits they sell (I am installing an AutoSpring and they dont carry it). Hoewever, they will install it because I am unhappy with the other kit they installed (Daystar).

Searchers was supposed to call me back around 12 today and did not call me back till 6 and I could not answer. Guess Ill have to call them Monday to get a quote. But they have done great work on my Jeep in the past.

I have seen two trucks that have had work done by this mysterious shop on Airline. It is called CNC, CMC, CXC, or something along those lines. Google is no help in finding the exact name.

I think simple simon has a big lifted truck painted on their store window and says something about lift kits.

I stopped there once to ask about changing up a few things on my truck and one of the guys really knew his shite. The others were clock watching

I think this might be the place you are thinking of. IIRC, it is a diesel shop too. Right on the corner of Airline and Alco. Looking at Google Maps, it has it as a transmission shop, but I have drven past and seen it as something different

Downshift, that's what I am worried about. I know what and how to do it but physically can't. I know the one guy at those kind of shops will be off the day I drop my truck off. I'll call them tomorrow though, thanks.

Hammer, thanks for the map. I'll drive by there tomorrow and check it out. It's just weird that I've ran across 2 people recently that have had good things to say about this place and now I can't find it.

P.S. Downshift, the simple Simon by the industrialplex by Light Line?

Yea I think that's it. If you're going toward BR from gonzales it's a blue building on the left with all kinds of shite painted on the windows.

I'd just call around and get the best price. Just remember the front end alignment after you get it put in. May save you some BS to have it done at a place that also does alignments.

Yeah I definitely know about the alignment part. I paid too much for my tires to go bald in a month. Thank ya again. I'll update the board with my findings tomorrow.

Still hoping that someone knows of the shop that I'm looking for. Maybe?

CSC did mine. That had the best prices I could find and were pretty quick. Fixed my alignment after the tire started to cuff too. I used light line for my jeep, and searchers for the hummer. I like CSC better than the other two.

CSC is the shop they were talking about.


I went through the same shite when I first heard about them. I couldn't find them for two weeks then I finally realized I passed the place all the time and never noticed. It is on airline by jefferson next to the dominos.


Number is (225) 293-2910.

That place you linked is actually CSC. I couldn't remember the side street. They work on diesels and all kind of shite. They also own the warehouse directly behind them.

This is why y'all are my favorite group of E friends! Well behind the playboy and hustler forums. Congrats to all, this was not a victory for me but for all of the OB!

Does anybody know if they are open on Saturday?
