Kelderman air ride??

Just wondering if anyone has installed a kelderman four link on a first gen or seen it done. I have debated selling my truck for a new one but I don't think I can part with my baby. so looking for a few upgrades that would make it ride and feel like a new truck.

I picked up a used set for all four corners, a bit less than half the retail price of 2800 (he said).
Installed them myself, it is easy once you get the old rusted stuff off.
On the front you flip three leaves, and add the air bags - really softens things up.
On the rear you remove the rear solid spring mount brackets and add the Kelderman rig. Keep the pressure at the "sweet spot" and you'll really enjoy the ride.
You still know you are in a truck, but the guy smacking you in the back with a 2x4 at every bump in the road, well, he stays home now.
I do not have pics up yet, that may come when I get a chance. Check the Kelderman site - it is pretty clear in its descriptions.

I was actually looking for the kelderman lift kit four link, but they only offer it for 94 and up. I called them today and they said I was out of luck as far as that goes with them. I already have bags in the rear so no need for theirs too. Thanks though.

I don't think you understand how their bag setup works.
