Kelderman Air Ride Suspension
For
your truck and trailer
Kelderman's Dodge is on the cover of the current Truck Trend Magazine
(November/December) as well as having 4 trucks at SEMA. Their Ford Harley
truck was one of the highlights of this years SEMA show. You will be seeing
Jeff Kelderman's lifted air suspension trucks on many more magazine covers
in the following months. Here are the 2004 SEMA trucks.

 Your Truck can ride on air. Why get a air hitch when you can have air ride all the
time. Modern pickup trucks are more powerful and haul heavier trailers. So
it's natural that they follow the technology used in modern over-the-road
semi trucks.
If you like a raised truck like the one above at 10 inches
or just the comfort of a level air ride, Kelderman has a model for you.

| This is the truck I drove, a 03 Dodge
2500 Quad Cab short bed 4x4. It was lifted with the complete Kelderman
air suspension. The factory Dodge rear leaf springs where completely
replaced along with the front drag links and shock-in-coil springs. It
was a nice ride and adjustable with the onboard compressor, tanks and
gauge. Frame matching black parts and Rancho shocks, each component of
the Kelderman system is stronger than the factory parts they replace.
That's what we want on a HD truck right? |

The model I drove was self contained with
the optional 3 air tanks
and a compressor. The gauges and operating button are in the cab.
Automatic Ride Height is another
option were a leveling valve on the Air Ride Suspension System senses
the position of the Air Ride and makes adjustments automatically. If the
load on the truck increases, air is added to the system, if load is
reduced, air is bled from the system - all automatically. For more

|
| Having the rear springs replaced with heavy duty air
bags, you have a heavy duty adjustable cross link to align the rear
axle. Rancho shocks with boots and air bags like Peterbilts and
Kenworths. Why get an air hitch to make the trailer ride better, when
you can make the trailer and truck ride better all the time. |

Front shock-in-springs are replaced by the air bags. |

Two big bars hold the rear axles in place. One arm
bolts to the spring bracket and the other bolts to the frame. |

|
|
Front stamped factory drag links are replaced with
Heavy Duty bars. |

 Here is the
Kelderman add on rear air suspension. It's an easy install. So you
can decide if you need a complete suspension or add just a rear air
ride. The Kelderman Air Ride Suspension comes with a hitch receiver
rated to pull over 10,000#'s |

| Here is the complete factory replacement Kelderman air
suspension on a 03 one ton dually which pulls heavy trailers at normal
height. I did say heavy trailers, like this 48 foot trailer pulling the
high mountain passes in Colorado. |

Pickup Truck manufactures leave room for improvement. With today's more powerful diesels pulling
larger trailers, get the suspension that will hold up to your trucks
maximum weight capacity. There is a reason air-suspensions are so
popular in modern semi-trucks and trailers.
If your truck is a
serious hauler, get a serious suspension. Looking to lift your
truck, Kelderman manufacturing makes the one built like a tank with
a 1/2 ton ride. I drove a 2003 Dodge 2500 short bed with a
lifted air suspension, it was great and looked custom with a self
contained air system.
