Anyone have a Kelderman Air Suspension? It looks like a really cool system. Good or bad experiences?

I've had one on my truck for a year now. It definitely smooths out the ride on choppy pavement.

MISERABLE install experience, due to the installer I chose. Fault not in any way due to Kelderman. In fact, Kelderman provided a level of customer service that I've never experienced before. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

The choice of installer is CRITICAL. Pick a shop that has done a lot of truck suspension work or do it yourself. It's not particularly hard, and having seen it done (twice) now, I'd probably opt to do it myself in the future.

I wish the 4-link rear had been available when I ordered (although I notice it's still not available for the short box).

It will also show up the weaknesses in your shocks pretty quickly. I'll likely upgrade to Bilsteins in the near future.

How would these bags work off-road on a 6" lift truck?

I am looking for somethong better for the rear end. The lift kit uses blocks and I'd like something that works better.

Thanks for any info.

Mike330,
I personally don't have any experience with Kelderman, but I have been over on their web site. Take a look, they have a Dodge that they lifted with just air bags. Looks pretty nice. I would give them an email and ask. They seem to know what they are doing out there. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the info, I will give them a call.

That Dodge has a solid front axle.
