For Houma Drivers
Why Houma Drivers Choose Elite for Lift Kits & Suspension
For Houma drivers, Elite Custom Automotive is a 19-mile, 23-minute run up LA-24 and LA-1 — closer than driving across town to a Houma chain shop, and miles ahead of the dealership. We see customers from Bayou Cane, Houma East, Broadmoor, Ellendale, and Schriever; the LA-24 corridor makes the trip painless. Houma's lifted-truck culture is heavy. The oilfield is the local economy, and oilfield supervisors, fabricators, and offshore-rotation guys are buying serious trucks: lifted Ford F-250 Power Strokes, Ram 2500 Cummins, GMC Sierra Denali HDs. Most want a clean 4–6" lift with the right wheel and tire combo, alignment dialed in, and steering stabilization that survives the trip back from the Port of Houma. We've installed BDS, Cognito, and Superlift kits on dozens of Houma-based work trucks and weekend builds. The shop's also a step up from what's available in Bayou Cane: we don't subcontract, we don't reuse hardware, and we don't pad the bill with "diagnostic fees" on top of the install. Real torque specs, factory alignment, and certified-installer paperwork so any brand-level warranty claim is straightforward. If you're tired of the dealership runaround on a simple level kit, or you've been quoted a price by a Houma shop that doesn't match what's actually on the invoice, run it by us. (985) 258-1414.

Common Questions
Houma FAQs
How long is the drive from Houma to your Lockport shop?
19 miles, about 23 minutes via LA-24 and LA-1. From Bayou Cane and East Houma you're looking at the same range. We open at 7:30am so you can drop off before work if you're heading offshore.
I work offshore on a 14/7 rotation. Can you turn my truck around inside a week?
Yes — for most leveling and 4–6" lift kits, drop-off on a Monday means pickup by Friday at the latest. Big-lift builds (8"+ with re-gearing) need closer to two weeks. Let us know your rotation schedule when you book and we'll prioritize the timeline.
My work truck is a fleet vehicle. Can you bill the company directly?
Call us at (985) 258-1414 to set up fleet billing — we'll walk through the paperwork and account setup with your company office.
I daily-drive my 6.7 Power Stroke from Houma to a platform job. What lift height keeps it practical?
4–6" lift on 35s is the sweet spot for guys running long highway miles. You get the look and the clearance without killing fuel economy or chewing through u-joints. Above that, you'll want driveshaft and gear work to stay practical for daily use.
My BDS kit was installed somewhere else and has an issue. Can you help?
Warranty claims on lift kit parts go directly through the manufacturer (BDS in this case), not through any installing shop. You'll need your original install paperwork and part numbers to file. We're happy to inspect the install and do the labor to swap a covered part once BDS approves the claim — call us to walk through it.
