Talking Love the Ride

I have a 2004.5 HO600 Dully, Quad Cab, LB,2WD,AT, 3.73. I hated the ride over some really terrible roads like US69 North from Okie border to I44. On rescent trip to La Crosse, WI, we also ran into I35 terrible bounce pulling our 5th wheel 35'. I had last installed a Kellderman single bag Air system on my 92Dodge Diesel Extended Cab and it helped these problems. So I decided to stop at Kelderman Factory in Osckolla, Iowa on way home. They provided 50amp hook up free on Sunday 22Aug. They installed their new two bag air lift for 2004 Dodge with airpump in 4 hours on 23Aug Monday even though I had not called in time to get on their schedule. They treated us terrific and the Kelderman system for the 2004 Dodge was just great on the 900 mile trip home.

Did you go with the full rear suspension replacement kit? I'm working my way across country and plan on getting the full front and rear done when I get close enough to their shop.

Kelderman

Since I have 2WD and was not going with a lift type, I just installed the two bag 4Link rear system which retains the old springs which are now hung on the rear hanger air bag system.
Their new Shop Forman is a retired Navy Metal Smith with over 20 years onboard Navy Carriers running a complete shipboard metal repair shop. He has a 92 Dodge with the Air Bag only on all four wheels lifted on his 4WD. Carl is his name and he is great..... It is interesting to talk to the owner who has 12 Dodge Diesel trucks of on size or other, with a 94 with 470,000 miles. He says that the V-8 will never make it as an over the road Diesel. Which is why he only uses Cummins...
