You must have never seen their parts in person. Kelderman is a farmboy operation. All his parts are flat pieces welded together. They are also all flame cut , and you can tell when looking at the pieces. A shop I know personally installed a few kits. It is all to heavy steel so it weighs a ton , and there is no design to it. It eats driveshafts , and you need to re alighn the truck when it goes up or down. You can watch the steering wheel moves as it dumps , or fills... He told me his customer asked for the kit. He kindly said no... Guy was a good customer , and he finally gave it , and said "I will do it just this once , but you are paying me to destroy your truck" Customer still had it done , and is junk to this day.... NEVER WILL I BUY KELDERMAN....

the kelderman kits are designed to be driven at one height.... the adjustment is made for loading and unloading as well as for legalities in some jurisdictions... you are not meant to drive at multiple heights... so you get it aligned at the top height and have drive shaft angles for that height and you will not have an issue... you need to know about the product if you are going to buy it..... and if you ever ride in one you will change your mind... a lifted truck on military grade tires still rides like a cadillac....

And when you see a handfull of trucks with issues , that are all having their kits. Then you realize the garbage they sell. Also The money they demand of the kits for flame cut flat welded pieces is ridiculous. Absolute GARBAGE...

Someone has more money than brains, but then I don't like lifted trucks or tinker toys on the back of a sedan.
