Kelderman Air Ride has just developed its most recent system in a line of quality air ride suspension systems. This system was developed to improve the ride of the new 2003 Dodge 3/4 & one-ton pickups. There are many advantages to equipping your truck
with air ride suspension:
• Improves the ride of the truck
• Adjustable ride height
• Increases load carrying capacit.

Before installation of the Air Ride unit, prepare a smooth, flat, hard surface and have all tools and equipment needed for the job. Chock the rear wheels of the truck, to prevent it from rolling forward or rearward.

Step 1. Place a jack under driver’s side differential and jack up until the tire is off the ground. Place a jack stand under the frame of the truck. (1.1).
Step 2. Remove tire.
Step 3. Remove top shock nut, bottom shock bolt, shock tower bolts and nut that holds sway bar.
Step 4. Let jack down in order to remove shock tower and shock.
Step 5. Remove coil spring (1.5) **NOTE: The shocks, shock tower and coil springs will not be reused.
Step 6. Locate driver’s side air bag mounts. Shock mounts should face rear of truck.
Step 7. The air inlet should face the front of the truck. (1.8) When assembling unit, it is critical that the outside bolts on top of unit are parallel with the bottom tabs. The big threaded stud gets a 3/4” flat washer & 3/4” jam nut. The small stud gets 1/2” lock washer & jam nut.
