Welder Hates The Ride, Adds Kelderman Air Suspension


Welder Don Crossley needed a heavier duty truck to transfer his highly personalized welder body onto. The body weighs 8,000 lbs., so he bought a Ford F450 Super Cab chassis fully loaded. The total truck weight is 16,200 lbs. He loved the new truck but hated how it rode, thinking it was so rough riding. So, he contacted Kelderman, the air suspension people, discussed their product, and had the complete system installed on his new F450. Now, he's a happy camper, or rather, a happy welder. Good ride, all the comforts, and the truck ride is so smooth in comparison. The truck is owned by Croz Custom Metal Fabrication, Inc., home-based in Fairfield, CA, working much of Northern California from this great truck.
