NO. JUST NO.

I make a living selling suspension and more specifically, air suspension. Stay far the **** away from airbagit products. They sell junk. If you want a four link setup for a lifted truck, Kelderman is the way to go most times. There are other options out there as well.

since you mentioned Kelderman, I have a few questions after reading their site.

The Stage 2 they offer: it states that it doesnt increase the load capacity, but merely aids heavily on ride comfort since it relocates the leaf carrier to the new rear bag. can you comment on this any?

the stage 2 w/ 4 link: does this one increase capacity or does it essentially just lose your springs and runs your truck on bags now? any insight you might have as a vendor and/or installer would be appreciated. thanks!

you unbolt the lower portion of the bag and let it hang then u bolt the cradle into the hole the bag used to be in

now the bags are sometimes not perfectly centered to the mounting hole
and it's no big deal normally but when you have the bag unbolted it's best to center the daystar cradle even if you need to adjust the mounting hole in the lower bracket

I was about 2 seconds away from making my own out of billet Al or Derlin

but bit the bullet and paid for the Daystar

the nice thing is you can add a spacer under the cradle if need be to make up any room

I am thinking if it wasn't a gimmick We would see them implemented by other MFG's
but it's just this one company and 400 bucks ?

If I can only get all the mfg venders to give me a set of their products that they want me to sell. I can install on my truck to see how well they work. How can I sell something I can't sample.
