Extreme Customs Sucks - Such poor workmanship by unqualified techs that they have destroyed a 2015 F350 of mine. Installed the BDS radius arms wrong, installed the track bar 1 1/2" too short which caused the front axle to shift 3" toward the driver side which ended up in my losing control of the truck. The brake line was rubbing on the tire and the new BDS spring had rubbed though the axle stop bracket and in to the frame. The front Fox shock was never tightened and the list goes on. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE - ONE DAY THEIR GONNA KILL SOMEONE WITH THEIR I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE AND POOR WORKMANSHIP. www.extremecustomsllcsucks.com 07-16-2017, 06:48 AM Mike189677 #2 Join Date: Jan 2012 Posts: 1,270 If they let the truck leave in the condition you say they do suck especially if they couldn't even adjust the drag link to center the steering wheel. But you apparently continued to drive the truck even though you knew something was wrong. 2004 FORD F-250 CCSB V10 FX4 4" Lift Bilstein 5100's 33's on 12 Wides Dual Stabilizers Harley Headlights Warn Premiums Line-X Scangauge II SCT 5 Star Tune K&N Intake SPD Y-Pipe Sony Double Din Infinity Speakers 2 Memphis 10's Smoked L.E.D. 3rd Brake Light L.E.D Cube Reverse Lights Airlift AirBags Custom Traction Bars Vent Shades Tonneau Cover L.E.D.

That's why I did my lift and everything else I need done that way you know it's done right and you can save some cash in the process. It looks like he has some videos on a website he made he posted the address. It just didn't make clickable a link.

I certainly agree, that's some bad workmanship. Surprised they are still in business turning out that kind of work.

Extreme Customs LLC Sucks Sorry I didn't put the link in correct to the site and thank you for doing it. This truck is a mess, Extreme Customs first stated they mess up the truck cause they installed the kit wrong, then changed that when they realized how much damage was done to the truck. Tyler at Extreme Customs called and told me BDS backed thier install but when I called BDS they told me "it was the worst install they have ever seen" The truck only 20k miles. I only drove the truck home from them and the next day, I don't want you to think I just kept driving it. I have a lot more photos to add to the site. 07-16-2017, 04:13 PM Sir Kayakalot #8 Join Date: Apr 2016 Location: Mountainburg AR Posts: 261 Senior User So who is going to fix it and how will it be done? 07-16-2017, 05:56 PM Mike189677 #9 Join Date: Jan 2012 Posts: 1,270 At this point I think I would have extreme customs not only refund all your money if you have already filed a dispute through your bank or card company. Then have them pay either Ford to return the truck to stock or pay another shop install a brand new bds kit. I would also recommend getting BDS involved especially if they are an authorized dealer. You still should have gone right back with the crooked steering wheel and complained about that and the noise it was making. It doesn't take 5 min to adjust the steering wheel but that was the least of your worries hope you get it squared away.

Thank you for the helpful tips. I didn't take it back the same day cause Extreme Customs is two hours away from me. Wanted to know what was going on first. 07-17-2017, 06:18 PM 82_F100_300Six #13 Join Date: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,192 Whatever you do do not take it back there to let them "fix it". Don't even set foot on their property. 07-18-2017, 12:44 AM projectnitemare #14 Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 827 Elder User Quote: Originally Posted by Chuck's First Ford custom work requires many documented happy customers,,, FIRST. many cut-up shops.. since the 1920's. This is the key to any work. They definitely fumbled your install but the damage isn't bad, could have been worse. Get the parts put on correctly, touch up the paint, new brake line and chalk it up as a learning experience. You'll have a better chance getting water from a rock than getting money back, or it will cost more than it's worth. Good work can be hard to come by and usually fetches good money. 07-18-2017, 01:02 AM Pocketlint #15 Join Date: Sep 2013 Location: Edmonton, AB Posts: 964 Elder User All I can to this is Whoa!
