I went with the kelderman air ride cause I was told the system rode like a cadallac . and honestly it does . these trucks ride rough . then lift them they don't get any softer ,, the air ride gives me way better than stock ride and a lifted truck that is a truly pleasure to ride in .. kelderman been around for decades , they know air ride .. its a very complex system but rides awsom . dual air compressers . four coenwer sensors keeps the truck perfect .. add load automatically levels it out ,, a truly outstanding product ,, gering is no issue with this motor ..

Can you run it at a stock ht with this set up or is 5" lift a low as it will go.
I ran the numbers a while back and I believe a 37" tire with 4:10 is equilavent to 3:73 with stock tires, which was surprising to me. I am sure these new motors can pull whatever you put under them. But I think this is also the set up I would want.

I have an '08 Silverado 2500 D-Max. I have a 6" Fabtech lift w/35" Toyo MTs. I have put over 100K miles on it and never had a single issue with the lift. Rides like stock, no alignment problems, no wobbles, no noises, nada. I have been towing my 8500 lb boat since 2008 with this truck and it has been a gem. So reliable and such a great truck. The Duramax is so quiet and powerful.
