Kelderman Air Lift

[BIG RED BUBBA]

hey everyone,
new to the forum and am trying to find my way around the site....so my question is what do you guys think about the kelderman 6-8 inch lift for 2010 f250s....a list of pros and cons would be very helpful

i like the adjustability of the lift so that i can change it to different heights depending on where i am but i dont really like how the rear link bars are....are they strong or do they bend after time....any help is great
thanks

i hope i don't make enemy's here with this post ( remember this is an opinion ) i would not worry about the bars bending , its the clamp that connects the bars to the joints that i don't like . on low rider ( bagged trucks ) the link bars have a all tread bolt that goes through the bar and connected by a nut welded to the end of the bar .
on a kelderman lift the bars are connected by a type of clevis joint ( two half moon pieces that grip the bar ) imo that is the weakest link of the lift besides that the engineering is on point .

since im in the thread ill just say that they've always looked like pretty good quality to me? i think they're a lil pricey but if you want it get it. moneys money it comes and goes

I have installed their kit before and the brackets are almost too thick. They add a lot of weight and I have heard of them ripping holes in the frame. The plus is nothing rides better than airbags.

Look into my air lift thread...I am almost done installing a PMF kit, and all I will say is IMO just by looking at both kits on trucks...its built better and stronger and will cost you LOTS less...LOTS.

Heres a pic almost finished.

wow, your truck is sweet, i looked at your thread, it looks like it is really a bolt on lift which would be nice. i like the look of the rear four link as well, if you dont mind me asking, was the lift above or below 5k? i know that the keldermans are about 12 or 13, which is a chunk of change. the lift and your truck looks great, thanks for the help
