Extreme Liners and Customs - Gonzales/ Kirks has the Works - Baton Rouge

I would take kirks off the list. I have never heard anything good about them when it comes to installing lifts. I know a few people who have gone to CSC and they had no issues. Is the $75 including the alignment?

Then why is CSC trying to charge me $450 for a 2.5 level and alignment.

For just install? What lift and what truck?

Kirks put a roll and lock bed cover on my truck.

No complaints except the price of the r&l.



Edit: I just saw you said Gonzales. I dealt with the one in br on airline.

You're getting jacked on the install pretty bad. I could do it without air tools in 30 minutes. Normal shop charges are $75/hr.

Jack up truck
Take tires off
Unbolt sway bar
Pop upper ball joint loose
Unbolt struts
Bolt spacers on
Do the reverse of what you just did


On a scale, it is probably a 2 out of 10 for hardness. A 1 out of 10 would be changing your air filter

Bump for review on kirks has the works

Had a aux oil cooler added to a truck I bought new there. Less then 2 years later, one of the oil lines came off. Blew the transmission on that truck and they wouldn't take care of it.

So, screw them.

I cannot comment on the price that CSC gave you because I brought my own leveling kit to them. However, they charged me $120 to install it and align it.

Kirks has always been a no for me. Bck in high school, they botched a friend's bod lift real bad. I cannot remember exactly what it was but they didn't hook one of the hoses up properly and the truck stayed at the dealership for weeks getting fixed.

If you found a different place, that's cheaper, use them. Please report back with your experience (a leveling kit isn't going to tell the skill level of shop, unfortunately). Competition is good for all consumers but right now BR has Searchers for custom work and CSC for bolt on stuff. Imo.

I'd go with csc if i had to bring it somewhere...i have the same truck 2012 f150, I bought the hbs 2" level spacer and did it myself in about an hour for both sides it's really easy and a beginner can do it with the right tools. Stay away from kirks they will screw you on price

I'd do that in a heartbeat.

I am friends with CSC on Facebook. You can message them and tell them exactly what you want and they will shoot you a price. I negotiated them down a bit but they were always more than pleasant to work with. I believe that the owner (Chris) handles all the Facebook stuff too.

Also good to follow them on Facebook because they run specials all the time. From window tint to rims and tires.

Wish they weren't so damn high; I wouldn't mind giving my money to them.

They are dirt cheap compared to the other guys in town. I say other guys meaning guys that are competent (Light line (nothing but bad things to say about them) and Searchers (nothing but great things to say about their custom work but very $$$)).

Also, not sure if other shops do this but at CSC, they tell you to go back after 500 miles to check the bolts. No biggie. However, they go the extra mile to recheck your alignment to ensure that it is still straight.
