i wish i had come across this info sooner

can anyone that has installed and driven, or ridden in one of these comment
i am not against doing this set up if it does what i want, but it is too much money to spend to find i do not like it

any info would be great,thanks

 

I don't know of anybody who has used it front and rear. It's a sweet set up but lotsa $$!

 

have you ridden in or seen anyone with just rear? and were they happy? what did it do and not do?

 

Man I would love to put kelderman on my X, called them a few years back but as Monsta said.... $$$$$!

 

I've not met anyone with an Excursion who uses Kelderman. One guy here on the island has a full Kelderman setup on his Dodge 3500. That thing is wicked.

The front end of the Excursion setup looks pretty well thought out. Most folks I know with airbags in the rear use either Airlift or the more popular Firestone bags.

So did you remove one front shock from each side to see if it changes the ride more to your liking?

 

no i havent talked to the shop about that yet

i am not sure that would work, seems it might bend the bracket from looking at it

the huge bumper/winch set up should be on the truck by sat so i am going to see what that does

right now it is ok to about 70mph and then over that i feel as if i am pulling and unbalanced trailer and fishtailing, even with the air bags at 100psi

so now i have to decide if i want to go with b springs, ras or maybe go with kelderman in the back and then later add the fronts

have you ridden in that dodge with the kelderman set up? wondering how it rides

 

For the price of a Kelderman setup you can buy a new truck

 

yes, but then i am right back where i started , with an ex that does not handle well and needs suspension work to haul a trailer

 

I have a Kelderman kit on my 03 X 4x4. It is a new kit that allows for 2 inches of lift. I love it so far.

 

Is it a lift kit?

How much did it costs?

 

Welcome Bearly,

How about some photos/details?

 

yes, please give us pics and more info on your kelderman set up

i am right in thinking there is a tow kit and then also a lift kit?
and if yours is 2 inches it must be the tow?

and do you have it front and back? or just rear?

 

There are pictures on Kelderman web site

 

I guess it would be called a hybrid kit. It combines their normal non-lift suspension system (front and rear) with some extras that allow for 2-3 inches of lift. It can extend to around 4-5 inches of lift if you don't mind a horrible ride and if you disconnect the AccuAir sensors. It can drop to below stock as well.

It also has the self-leveling setup with in-cab remote. They don't have it up on their website yet. We work with Kelderman so pricing did not come into play. The install would have been around 5k according to the shop I worked with. I think the AccuAir/Self-Level would be a large part of that install.

I will post pics sometime tonight. I will be trying to stuff 35's so we'll see what happens.

 

Do you have an pics yet? Who did you go through to get your kit and have it installed?
