Issues with 24's w/ Pedders lowering springs?

[Blazed]

I just was researching the kelderman kits and it says at ride height it is a 1/2 drop can that be modified to ride at 2/3 at a ride quality cost? Or is it set in stone?

It is not set in stone but yes ride quality will suffer.

Blazed...if the $2K price turned you on to the Kelderman kit you must know the compressors (good ones) are high $$$ and all the fittings, airline, valves etc add up quickly. Honestly your better off having a good air suspension shop do a custom setup for WAY cheaper, be a better fit for you and be exactly what you want instead of trying to modify a high dollar cookie cutter kit

I know this from experience as well have had about every kind of modified vehicle you could have...this was "my baby" when I was 18, worked my @$$ and put every dollar I could make into it lol layed full out and could drag unibody and throw some major sparkage on the highway, also my first experience with White Diamond Tri-Coat...it is also the reasoning for my username

Explain to me how they are way cheaper? I guy on here had a shop do his and it was around the same price and did not have e-level.

while I agree the e-level is nice and the Kelderman offers top notch quality, for what it offers (just air ride, not a bag job / laid out) you could do a simple custom bag job set up with maybe front/back and not have more $$ tied up in valves to do side to side and would accomplish the same result as the Kelderman for less money

Show me how cheaply you can bag the front. I am just curious and as I already told you another member here tried to do it cheaper and did not.

So I haven't quoted getting the Esky bagged nor would I ever consider it so I won't get into debating specific dollar amounts with you, but in principle dropping the truck off at a reputable bag shop (atleast around my area) would be cheaper than buying the Kelderman kit, buying all the necessary parts and having somebody install it (as most people who could afford / would drop the money on a Kelderman kit would most likely not have the know how to install it or want to install it themselves)

So you are guessing that it would be cheaper?

After doing a google search for Kelderman kits trying to see what they actually run for I stumbled across your thread of the Kelderman install on yours and that you had a hookup because you do IT for them so obviously your biased and this argument will never end. I'm not even trying to "win", I'm honestly just against high dollar parts that wouldn't even yield the results I would be looking for. If I was going to bag a vehicle I'd bag it, not bolt on a high dollar kit that won't even lay....found the complete kits for $4500 + Install and I'm pretty confident the same results or better could be had for less

also not trying to take a jab but this statement
"I have not climbed underneath the truck yet but the way it was explained to me its the lowest you can go with rerouting exhaust and cutting some stuff. I honestly couldn't tell you with any degree of intelligence why it doesn't go lower lol."

shows the difference in our personalities...again I am not trying to be a d*ck just stating I'm not the spend big $$$ on bolt on stuff kind of guy. I'd rather do some real modifications for cheaper with watever I can do with my own hands, or pay reasonable prices if I absolutely have too

So wait... You are going to use the fact that at that point I hadn't been under there to look yet as a reference? Lets use the fact that you have done no research as my point. Sorry dude just do not care for people that have no knowledge with a certain area to pretend like they do thus giving people wrong info. I am not telling you to buy the kit but I am telling you that others have had the same mentality as you and have not proven their point.
