I recently had the Kelderman Air Ride kit installed on my Yukon. The pics are not the greatest because they are cell pics and I was only around the shop for the first day of install. I will take better pics when I can but Iowa, winter and factory wheels do not make for an ideal photo shoot.

Very nice, what size rims are you going to be using? If you don't mind me asking how much did it run you?

I do the IT work for Kelderman so I got it for pretty cheap and they did the install. Great group of guys and they make most of the parts in house. I am very happy with the kit so far and im glad that when I want to get rid of the Yukon I can take the kit off and put my stock stuff back on.
Go to their website http://www.keldermanairride.com/lift-kits/project_vehicles/details.php?id=GMT900 and you can see pictures of the kit on more vehicles.

That's a pretty nice hook up to have to work at a place like that and benefit from the discount
I work in IT too but not for a company quite that interesting

The rear portion of this kit just does not cut it. Does not get low enough for the price at all.
The Yukon does look good though!

I do not work there full time just when they need me to come in.

I have not climbed underneath the truck yet but the way it was explained to me its the lowest you can go with rerouting exhaust and cutting some stuff. I honestly couldn't tell you with any degree of intelligence why it doesn't go lower lol.
I mainly was interested in the kit because i wanted to go lower with yukon but I did not want to sacrifice towing or passenger abilities. With this kit I can pull a boat with 6 or 7 people in the Yukon and it will always be at the same ride height becuase of the bags and auto leveling. I was not out to lay the Yukon out because honestly I usually only keep a vehicle for a few years and wanted to be able to easily take back to stock plus doing work there made it more affordable for me

The ride is really good once you get the at the right height. Like any air suspensions to low or to high can affect ride quality.

the rear sits really high wow. Looks like some 5 inch drop springs and you can go low if you do the rear relocators and swaybar endlinks/cut bumpstop bracket off no problem.

I was actually thinking about that and when I get time I am going to climb under and take a look so I may get ahold of you for the parts.

no prob with the trailing arms relocated and rear swaybar links changed and rear bumpstop bracket taken off that truck should sit a lot lower in the rear.
If not I woudl just use the f9001 bags in there since ive used those bags in rear and on the tahoe they will let it rest on the frame when aired out and they are only 8.37 extended so they ride much lower than other airbags out there and ride great. I have a tahoe kit here also.

Sorry for yet another cell phone pic but until the weather gets better here this is the best I can do. It looks a little bit better with out the factory wheels and hopefully these will be gone soon so I can change to 24" wheels.

You don't like those factory rims? I like the look myself are you looking for something with a lip on it or something?

Once you do get better pics try to get them with High setting then Ride and Low again. I am really looking into doing this kit sometime soon.. The tanks and all that are in the front right just had to remove the skid plate. The only one thing that might keep me from doing it I know a long time ago air rides sometimes had issues with the soleniods getting bad and the car getting stuck on the hieght it was. But prob not a issue anymore with that.

I can you pics of the different heights now. There is 2 small tanks and compressors that are mounted to a new skid plate. Everything is rated to run year round and there is a dryer system.
I really like the kit and have since they first built it for the escalade they had. I have not had a chance to tow with the kit yet but have riden in the escalade while towing.
