Kelderman air suspension....
Just ordered the 4 link rear suspension with Hadley 4 corner Smart Air Management. I already have their 2 link system installed on the front. The rear looks like a major league job. Anyone have one of these?

I installed on my 450 before the tow body installation. I would not attempt doing it with a box on the truck. It did take a lot of the harshness out of the rear suspension. I will say it is a fairly big job.

indeed it is a big job...i couldnt do it if my life depended on it. today was day 3. The first day was removing the bed and game planning. They are also installing a titan 55 gallon tank and relocating the train horns. It looks like an incredibly well built kit. It may be ready tomorrow. Im very excited about it.

Right, IF the instructions have been revised to reflect the new hardware. We were #2 in installing on a 2017. Some mods were required. I was tempted to rewrite the instructions and correct the hardware list and send it to them, but by then we had other priorities. Hopefully present customers will get a better package and communication from Kelderman. I do agree the hardware quality is very good.

You are spot on brother....updates to instructions are needed.

how low can you make the truck go with the air suspension? I was thinking of doing it for my wife who's barely hitting 5ft tall and also I have a 3 month old and getting the car seat in and out of the truck looks like it may be a task.

Looks like big job to me. Not to mention if. And when you have a problem. Is there going warrant the parts. Mine failed in less than 3 k miles. They installed. Still tryed to pawn it off on me. Said I broke it. It was in winter storage. Went to take out of barn n bag inflated to full . Tweaked whole truck. . Hopefully have faith wheel prep installed prior to install another must . Rode awsom end result . Kelderman did fix truck. But dropped my warrentee from 5 years 50 k. To 1 year. Deal breaker for me. My last kelderman truck.

Who was number one. 😳😳lol. Nose set up. I think the the programmer needs some time and tweaking. My Hadley communicated failed. Although they told me it was a broken sensor. I marked the Hadley programmer before they got truck to see if it was exchanged. And it was. 😬
