General Discussion / Re: Better ride adding air bags

« on: December 03, 2016, 09:45:27 pm »

I have the full Kelderman airbag setup for the rear of my PC.  It does help with the ride massively, but also allows me to level the RV and lower/raise it for towing.  I also have bags in my front springs.

Were the rear leaf springs removed or is it the 2-stage setup connecting their rear shackles to the air bag mechanism as shown in the pic in the Kelderman link?  Thanks.

Same 2 stage as pictured, leafs are still there.  I have the Kelderman kit.

Hi randallandchris,


"Replacing" the rear leaf spring suspension with a full air ride suspension is designed to improve the quality of the ride, making it more comfortable.  The problem with these types of suspensions is that if there is a failure with an air leak of any kind, the vehicle is incapacitated.

Although I agree having a leak in my rear bags was terrible, my RV was not incapacitated.  It rode very low in the rear but I was able to get home over an hours drive from the beach.  I had an air line burst and cause full pressure loss.  The RV kinda looked like an old school Gasser, riding high upfront because of my 4X4 set up.  New lines the next day and I was back in business.

Yes the deflector has worked out well.  Almost the entire RV had 3M ClearBra from the beltline down, including fender flares.  That also has helped protect the paint.

How about the rear speakers above the bed, has anyone swapped those out?

I drive on the sand frequently.  I have a full airbag suspension now, but am just looking for better on/off road suited tires.

Here we are at the shore

Just wondering how many other 4X4 PC's are around?  I am considering changing up our tires to something more aggressive and suited to the beach driving we do.

Our last trip I towed our Wrangler in our enclosed trailer.  No problem through hills all the way up to Bar Harbor from NJ.

Have both the ladder/roof rack and insulated glass, great additions.  The vac I think is unnecessary.
