One of our original creations, the Kelderman 2-Stage Front Air Suspension, for the 1st Generation (1989-1993) Dodge heavy-duty trucks is still offered after 30+ years of being offered to the public. The reason why is simple: it works! These Ram trucks are some of the most desirable trucks around due to their simplicity and the legendary Cummins motor. If you’re in the process of fixing up your old truck it’s a great time to address the suspension. One of the suspension issues facing these 1st Generation trucks is stiff ride quality. With the installation of the Kelderman 2-Stage Front Air Suspension, your leaf springs are retained, but they are reversed during the installation of our air ride framework. This combination of leaf spring and air ride suspension results in a dramatic improvement in ride quality.
This kit will also include Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks to further enhance the ride and allow you to adjust the front suspension on your truck to exactly how you want it! Maybe your truck is used not as a show truck, but as a work truck…that’s fine too! These kits are not only great at improving the ride quality on restored Ram trucks but on snow plow setups or other work/farm trucks to support aftermarket accessories. You won’t have to worry about a custom bumper or a snowplow drooping the front leaf springs down again. Just air the airbags back up to their designed ‘ride height’ and they can support the weight. You owe it to yourself AND your truck to keep it in top condition with the best ride quality available. With over 30 years in production, the Kelderman 2-Stage Air Suspension setup can do just that.
Please note that this system is designed for use only with the stock leaf springs or any stock leaf spring equivalent. It is NOT compatible with a lift kit.
