Used Kelderman kit... Thoughts?

Just purchased a used kelderman 3-6 inch kit which was originally intended for a 2005 shortbed. Any thoughts on differences or issues with fitment on my 2006 Mega?

-What about the planned mods in the signature... will I be able to run the 38.5s Xtreme Ats with the kelderman lift?

Kelderman

Just got the truck up on jackstands this weekend past. Looks like it should work out fine. Pics to follow.

Kelderman

Rear bags are on. Now doing the fronts. Trying to do this while babysitting 3 kids....


It is built like a tank. PS everything on the suspension of these trucks is quite heavy. Ever try and move a leaf pack from a 3500 gracefully from its mounts to the floor?

Front driver's side is on and so far it seems the kit will work fine on the mega cab. Front replacement control arms and panhard bar should be on by tomorrow. I will try and post some pics.

Going to be nice with the new Toyo 37s.

Some Photos

Here are a couple of Photos..


BTW paid
-1500 USD for the kit used
-500 for soda blasting
-150 in rust paint
-1 return ticket from Montreal to Phoenix to pick it up and bring it back. My checked baggage exceeded the limits slightly but my flight was on points.
