Price Drop - $2850
Back on the block again after transitioning to my esky, time to move on to the next project. $2850 plus actual shipping to your door.

This kit was formerly Yates' - I ran it on my burban for about 5 months from April of 2012 to August 2012 - sold that truck, put the kit on my esky. Ran that from January 2013 to August 2013. Esky sold - so it's all sitting in boxes in garage.

System Description:
Full bolt on air suspension for 07+ Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Denali, Avalanche, Escalade and the front will work on NNBS 1500 series trucks. Yates had repowder coated the suspension parts, included new fittings and air lines, also included the front bags already mounted on struts. Your getting everything essentially refreshed as of April 2012. The kit uses sleeve bags on the front and regular bags on the rear. The air tanks, valves, and compressors all fit where your skid plate is currently located. The kit uses AccuAir E-level controls so your truck is always at the perfect ride height and also is adjustable on the fly. The kit comes with dual Viair 400C compressors and has an air dryer on it.

If you own a truck with factory air ride then the oem sensors work great with this system. Mine was done this way. If you have a non air ride vehicle then you will need to get a set of air sensors See them frequently on ebay for about a hundy for set of 4.

I can meet you somewhere if it's reasonable and fits my schedule. Willing to do a 75-100 mile radius to my home if it helps you out.

1st set of pics below are of the kit on my burban - These pics are with the rear Shock extension brackets offered by norcal. I'm not including that, but the shock extenders will net you 1 full extra inch out back and the stance will look as follows. I also removed entire bump stock bracket with plasma cutter (free travel Mod):

The Esky pics are on oem 22''s, bump stop brackets still in place but rubbers cut off entirely:

Do you know if this would work on a hybrid yukon? I don't have the autoride and did see your post above about the sensors.

Rocky, I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the hybrid suspension so I couldn't say. You may want to check with Kelderman direct or possibly ping Yates via PM.

To those that need shipping. I'm back in town now and can package it this week. I'll ship, but you pay all costs. Will put on a pallet, shrink wrap and requires a business w/loading dock.

Love the look but don't know if I can install this myself. Any issues with dash lights saying service suspension system?

You will get the message center notification unless you wire in resistor. I'm not including it, but don't let that deter. It's a no brainer to handle it.

Not sure if the dash light topic is where you were worried about installing on your own. If it was for the rest of the system - if you can turn a wrench and read some instructions, you can cover it.

I lugged my 53 back on the suburban last year 620 miles round trip. Obviously the trip out was unloaded. The trip back was just as comfortable. I used the 3rd preset which takes the truck to slightly higher than the oem ride height and then bumped the rear up just a touch to keep her level - pic below loaded up:

The escalade hasn't gotten much heavy traffic out back. I've tugged some lawn equipment, trailer loads of firewood, and my motorcycle but nothing as significant as a car or boat.

The bag struts is it hard to put new struts in?
Can you only use one specific strut?

Direct swap - and it's a simple 2 bolt at bottom, 3 on top. Remove oem - slip in the bag strut and your on to running air line and sensor wire.

Forgot to ask, Are the settings preset or can you make your own?

3 presets are set via an auto configuration you run after initial install. The ECU takes into account full range of travel and sets these initially. You can then change the heights and over write them to any height you like. Additionally you have full control to adjust anything you like, anytime you like.

I don't think my question was quite understood. Seemed like you were talking about taking my assembly out and replacing it with this one. I meant the struts itself(shock) can the sleeve bag be put onto any strut for instance a bilstein?
