Burban has a buyer and the suspension is not part of the deal so I'm pulling it off and returning the truck to stock.

This is the physical system Yates had on his yukon. I bought it from him the first week of April.

Full bolt on air suspension for 07+ Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Denali, Avalanche, 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. Mines done this way. If you have a non air ride vehicle then you will need to get a set of air sensors, I've got a question out to Derek to see what those would run so there are no surprises.

I can ship via UPS or on a pallet using a local freight company cost is on you.

I am asking $3250 plus shipping for the kit net to me. If your using a paypal type merchant, the fees are on you. Let me know of any questions.

More pictures of the kit off of Kelderman website. http://kelderman.com/node/145

Pics of the kit on my burban - These pics are with the rear handling kit 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:

Is a favorite of mine as well - going to try and get another with some close up city scape for the background before I take her apart.

This kit should be priced around $10k since I used it and it probably has my finger prints on it still. The sensors will be taken care of so do not hesitate to buy.

P.S. For an additional $1k payable to me I will sign the sensors so you really have a part of TYF history.

Off topic:
With this pic did you use a camara rig and drive about 2mph and they just photoshoped out the rig? I had something similar to this with my show car when it was featured in a magazine.

I used my boom arm with cups and super clamps. This was at about 35mph and I just drag the shutter to keep the motion. I freelance via a small studio out of my home and just recently branched to in motion automotive December of last year.

I'm interested in this kit but I have a few questions first. I watched a couple youtube videos on the kit and it seems like the valves are slooooooow. I'm guessing 3/8". Can they be changed out to 1/2" valves to make it a little quicker? Another thing is I was looking at the presets, can you not adjust the pressure in the bags while the vehicle is in motion?

You have full adjustability on the fly, the presets are just that - presets/starting points. From there you can manipulate anything you want any time you want.

As for slow - I don't consider this slow. It goes full height to dumped in less than 4 seconds. If you wanted to swap valves it wouldn't be hard at all. I'd check with Yates or go into Kelderman direct with those questions.

Emay's system runs 1/4" fittings and air line right now, you would have to run 1/4" to 3/8" adapters at the bags and valves to speed it up a bit. You would not want to run 1/2" on this system as the automatic leveling system would not be as accurate at that speed, I have not tried 3/8" but I would assume it would be a little less accurate then 1/4". The speed of 1/4" not over slow as I ran this system for over a year with no complaints on speed but it is also a subject thing.

Gotcha...alright, well I'm still weighing my options. I've got a call into a few shops. May end up sending her off to lay frame. Depends on what the cost is and how fast the turn around is.
