Finally started installing my Kelderman Kit

[TBucks]

Do yourself a favor remove the red bumpstop and see if the truck goes down. If the panhard bar is not hitting the swaybar and if the shock isnt bottomed out then your pretty much at the lowest point and the bag is bottomed out. There has been 2 cases where a taller bag was used on the kit the customers had to get them swapped out. this was years ago.

Theres is literally half an inch between the red bump stop and the frame with the sway bar disconnected and the shock length fully aired out is only 16 inches so they have another 4 inches left before bottomed out. So guess the bag is bottomed out.

do yourself a favor. get some tbss bags from dealer. They will ride a lot better too.

also just to be sure have you disconnected the shock and see if it went down more... or verified that it is 12.xx inches collapsed by pushing them in and measureing

Also I was gonna put the kelderman front bags with my 2" drop spindles so it sits lower aired out. I was gonna make new wheel wells to make room for the clearance and do some reloacting of certain engine bay components to make room. then was gonna roll my front wheel wells as well. Or is there another reason I cant run the drop spindle and the bags?

I ran my kelderman kit with drop spindles. you lose half the travel because the tires will just lay on the inner fender. If you were to remove the inner fenders, it would be perfect.

Shocks and sway bar disconnected and aired out not touching ur bump.

Ok it shows that the upper twist and bolts in but how does the bag mount to the rear end?

 

[NORCAL SS]

the top locks it in. Theres nothing to mount on the rear axle. so you know the upper/lower mount is the same as the trailblazer ss so like from the factory the trailblazer ss bags just get locked in up top and bottom rests against the mount. Ive been doing this bag swap for years and the bag set up you got customers swapped out and wish they never installed it. Like i said ride better/sits lower and tows a BUNCH more

So I did some more mods today and was able to get the rear lower and resting on NORCAL SS bump stops but dont want to cut the bump stops down till I get the Spohn bar kit and roll the rear fenders. Ill probably order the bars in the next week or so and get my fender rolled soon to see how low it really goes now. Need to do a few more things and then Ill start on the front bags this week.

First does anyone on here have a Yukon Denali 07 up that lays frame. Want pics of the engine compartment relocation and wheel wells. Since Im gonna leave my drop spindle and run the kelderman kit. Its gonna be mostly for non driving looks but is there going to be any binding I should be aware of or suspension mods I need to do to help dramatic camber change? Thanks for any help!!

 

[NORCAL SS]

your not going to lay frame in front with spindles and that kit.

Lol I know but theyll have pics of how they relocated their engine compartment components. I will have to remove and cut out my front fenders.

Also dooes anyone know what the kelderman bags are good to tow up to. I know Tony said the tbss bags are good up to 6k?

the member here posted few months ago i set up him with the swap. he towed his boat and was horrible. He had to put so much pressure in the bags thing would just bounce. He did the tbss bag swap and he said used 1/2 the psi and road night and day difference with a load

I know Im not trying to lay frame or spend the 15k to do so. But if I leave my drop spindles on with the kelderman kit, to air it all the way out ill have to cut out my front fenders and relocate some things like fuse box, coolant res, battery. I can get another two inches of lowering out of the front end if I move everything to be just under the top of the fender line.

 

[TBucks]

nvm

So having a problem passanger side bag keeps loosing air. Only happens over night. But Ive checked all my fittings even sprayed the whole thing with soapy water. Im actually standing over it now in a bucket of soapy water with it aired all the way up still no bubbles??? Its only an issue right now till I get my air managment system but just wondering what could be the cause?

If you have it in a bucket of water and you're seeing no bubbles then it is in a line or fitting. Make sure your air line is cut straight and that it is fully seated in the fitting.
