i think for what you got a larger tire with a D load rides nice i have the military 37 goodyears on my 2001 2500 dodge ram. it rides alot better then it did. if you have a levling kit take it out! i put a levling kit in it and it compressed the spring and makes it ride stiffer.

Kelderman air ride it maintains the stock hight and gives you the ride of a 1/2ton it puts the rear shackles on air bags by a cantilever system and air ride for the front and it dose not take away from your load carrying cap

if your makin power pullin out leafs will also increase your axle wrap. another option way cheaper than a kelderman setup is the air over leaf setup. Firestone R4Tech Air Over Leaf Suspension, R4Tech Suspension

wish they made it for my truck simple and depenable

That Firestone system is bad *** I wish they would make one for my truck.

The kelderman rear system is $1500.00 and the same for the front $1400.00 I don't think that is that expensive compared to the Firestone system.

But I do see both points of views. Next year some time I hope to get the rear system from kelderman then I will work on the front system.

thoght kelderman was more. my bad but like the air over leaf might be copying it soon since they dont make one for my year. one leaf one air bag and a link from front eye to axle. i think the jspring thing is just to throw people off
