    Anyone using a Kelderman 2 bag rear setup on their towrig. I have a GMC 2500hd but would like any feedback from other brands if using this product.
    It looks like it would be a huge ride improvement since its mounted to the rear of the leaf springs and has a swingarm of its own to isolate the airbags from the springs. With a ride height sensor and on board air it would seem to be a good ride empty or fully loaded with no loss of capacity.

    Check out the video of this system on a late model dodgewaytogo

    I have me t a few other drivers that have it and have heard nothing but positive things. There is also a guy over the Dodge site that has it and air ride seats. Says his truck rides like a luxury car now.

    Someone makes air ride seats for pick ups!! Does that driver from the other site mention who makes them? I`d like to surf that vendors web site if you could tell me where to point my browser. Thanks for the info on the 2- bag rear. As much as you tow I`m surprised you haven`t tried suspension like this Haulin-rv? l8r bb

    They only make the bases for Ford and Dodge (and technically they are to be used with there seats). If you did both seats, bases, and compressor its like $2000++. The bases are just under $300 each. I haven't done any air ride before for 2 reasons, one cost, two I never keep a truck more than 18 months. But I am going to slow down on the miles or may even quit hauling so I am going to do it on this truck. My plan is a Pac-Brake, then an air seat base, and then if I am not happy the Kelderman system (pac-brake first since it includes a compressor and tank).
