air ride suspension recommendation request

I have a 2012 f 450 and my goal is to be able to drop and raise the rear in order to hook up trailers and improve the ride. Looking for some experienced user for recommendations for that as well as brand of front shock. Thanks

My Kelderman system was pricey, but allows me to drop the rear end by about 3 inches and is very, very comfortable.

My history of trying different suspension mods and review of the Kelderman is at https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...kelderman.html

Well the burning question is how much would one expect to pay for your set up? Thanks

Low end, about $4K - $5K for the rears. I spent close to $7500 to have front and rear on full air ride with dump valves on the rear. High end - $10K for the full system with electronic ride height controls and three different ride heights.

I figure to put some Blisten 5160's on the front and air rides on the rear. I can spend what it takes but I don't want to spend more than it takes. I would like to be able to lower and raise the rear a few inches. I need to bring the overall height down a bit to accommodate me gooseneck stock trailer.
