Kelderman Profile
Jeff Kelderman, vice president and co-owner of Kelderman Manufacturing, is known among serious truck enthusiasts as one of the leading manufacturers of air ride lift kits for light and medium trucks. In a few short years, he has parlayed the family’s agricultural and RV air ride suspension based business into the foremost source for quality four-link air ride suspension. Utilizing his high profile project trucks as a means to promote each new product line, he is now considered one of the nation’s top custom truck builders, receiving awards at SEMA, and at numerous truck shows throughout the country in recognition of his expertise in engineering and concept design.
The popularity of a Kelderman designed system is evidenced by multiple magazine covers and features in truck publications with each new introduction including press coverage on popular cable shows like Trucks!, Xtreme 4X4, Stacey David’s Gearz, and Truck Universe.
Kelderman says, “It all started with a 13” lifted Dodge named Big Red. I really got the inspiration to do my own truck after doing the lift and some custom engineering for Bulled Elegance, a truck introduced by Bully Dog Technologies that won the Ford Design Award at the 2003 SEMA show. Watching the crowd’s obvious appreciation for this themed truck gave me the desire to bring my own truck to SEMA in ’04.” Before it even hit the ground in Las Vegas , Motor Trend’s Truck Trend had selected Big Red to be the feature cover for their largest circulated issue of the year.” To see more Kelderman trucks, product or features, go to www.kelderman.com
