My dad often asks me "Are you going to chrome that" when he sees me smoothing something that "nobody will ever see"

Jim no they don't. I can say that I have the Kelderman setup on both of my 1st gens and they ride nicer than my 05. I had an opportunity to buy a rear setup and chose not to. The Kelderman setup is placed that it takes away your spare tire and heavy duty hitch (which is so important for what I use my dually for).
And for what it's worth -- my truck still rides like a hay wagon. I suspect a set of modern thin-leaf springs with nylon inserts would do a better job of softening the ride than do my airbags.

James it may. I installed a different set of springs on my RC when I swapped in the Cummins. It is slightly softer than my W350 that I just added the air bag kit.
I can try and get better pics but once installed its kinda hard to see the mounts in a layout format.

Yeah, we know.... some of us are married too....
Thanks for the pics. All I can say is Holy...... "Something", but it would get deleted if I remembered what that something was....
Oh yeah....Sea monkeys.... Holy Sea Monkeys....
That looks really cool, although I've never seen the trailing arms (half leaf springs still in place) like that before. I guess it's based upon a Mack, peterbuilt, or Other setup ?
