Air suspension

I am looking for an air ride kit that I can lower and raise. I am not looking for lowrider type hydraulics. I am just looking for 2 or 3 inches. I saw one in Diesel Power magazine a while back that sat at stock height when fully raised. I liked that but the company that sold it wants $5300 for a front and rear kit. Is that the price range for most companies or am I having a bad dream. I don't want to spend that kind of money for something that I certainly don't need.

The only brand I'm familiar with is Kelderman Air Ride Systems. Have you given them a call yet?

I put a Firestone kit on the rear, $250 and a Ride Air kit on the front, $250. Topped off with an onboard compressor/gauge kit for $125 and this whole set up get's me 5 inches of clearance.

Kelderman was the only place I called. Their system looks really good but the $5k + price tag is way too much for me.

That looks a lot closer to my price range. Where did you get it from? And...does it raise your truck from stock or to stock height. I want to be able to raise mine to stock height.
