Kelderman Air Ride

[cNate]

I’ve had my truck nearly 1 year and 14k miles (2020 AT4 HD. I’ve been waiting to alter it to see what companies come out with (have only done a cover and ceramic coating the week I bought it). I was originally thinking a 2-3” coil over conversion kit like the one BDS offers on the previous gen HDs, but the reality is I won’t be off-roading this truck like my last one and that suspension is really soft for towing. Done breaking trucks off road and would rather take other power toys (SXS, quad, etc). My truck is my daily and 70% of the driving has been towing.

 

I’m researching the full 4 link air ride system from kelderman (front and back). Curious if anyone has had this system on their current or previous trucks? How is the ride quality and towing? I plan to go from my 9k lbs 35’ bumper pull to a ~12k ish 5er (fully loaded weights).

 

I’m not looking to build as big of a truck as last time around so probably won’t be doing the 6–8” or 7-9” lift with 38-40” tires. Thinking the 2” with 37s and going with an AT instead of an RT/MT tire.

 

The rear suspension has the option of fox shocks with remote reservoir, powder coating and self-leveling. About $7k just for the rear. The front has lots of options Kelderman or else wise).

 

Lots of background info. Would appreciate insights from anyone who has towed heavy with and without air ride systems. Thanks!!!!

Those Kelderman lifts with their 4-link and air ride is pretty dope. Did you see StreetSpeed717's (YouTuber/Instagram) 2020 High Country? That build was nuts. 10/12" of lift on 24x14 wheels with 38x15.50 Mickey Thompson M/T's

Will check it out. The more I research it, the more I think only doing the 2” might leave me wanting more of a drastic change for all that money. Maybe a 6-8” 4 link! Haha
