I have seen two on truckpaper.com with air ride seats, but not air suspension yet.

Do a google search and you will find all the air ride suspenstion system availible.
That's what I did, that's were I found Kelderman Mfg, as the thread before this one.
I plan on the four link, 2 airbag system for my 01, hopefully next month sometime.
Oh, I have found that, not to many diesels guys want the airbag, they want the lift kits, probably why theres not much of a respones to this thread. I found this in other diesel forums as well.
My 2 cents worth.

I would only get a air-bag system for my 5500 is there was no comprise in payload performance. Its a love hate thing,some times I love my 5500's suspention and other times I hate it.

Nice, I did Courier and hotshots with matts express in Edmonton, I liked it but in summer I run 2 Bobcats, busy in summer, I wanted to do both courier/hotshots and snow in winter but it seemed that when it snowed Matt's was calling but I was doing snow. Looking to get the truck working this winter again, I hope it works out better. I will post pic's of my truck when it is done I am uprigging it now.
Dose the the insight void warranty? I am looking for something that just monitors the engine I.E. EGT, Boost,
Thanks Cummings610

i hope the factory does something with the air seats. my5500 is used for towing so just have fenders and a 20,000 lb hitch plate. the truck is beautiful get a lot of compliments, but measerable to ride in.

the sterling bullet is working on air suspension. I worked at the local freightliner dealer and had a customer look into air ride seats. NOT CHEAP

well my friend, i'm afraid every add on or replacement part for the 4500 & 5500 will be painful, i checked into nice rims 19.5's about $6k. i'm really beginning to like the factory stock rims with their uneven welds and marvelous spray can paint job.
