Does anyone make air ride for the front of a 2010 & up Silverado 4X4?

Is anyone running air ride on the front of their 2010 & up Silverado 4X4?

FYI - I have already tried both Ridetech and Kelderman.

Thank you,

A while ago when doing one of my many searches I found a article with some kind of front air ride on GM 4X4.
To make the air strut fit they made spacers to go between the frame and the air ride strut. However, I have not found that article since.

 

I found a lot of pictures of aftermarket coil-overs on the front of a Silverado.
Here is the one picture I found of an Air Ride conversions.
This is close to what I will be doing.


It was recommended (by Chase at Ridetech) that I have custom steel upper and lower mounts made with eye-loop mounts for the ShockWaves.
The steel mounting plates will make up the difference in height between the frame mount and lower control arm.
They will also provide a very secure mounting area for the ShockWaves.
One steel mounting plate will go on the lower control arm and one will be mounted to the upper pocket in the frame.
They will look similar to these. But they will be closed or boxed in and have eye-loop mounts on one end for the eye-loops on the ShockWaves.



Below is what the ShockWaves will look like and why I need the ears on the steel mounts for the eye-loops on the ShockWaves.

 

Don't they have several mounting options for the top of the shockwaves? I would think it would make more sense to go with the factory style for ease of use, installation and maintenance. They are available in a variety of lengths.

I thought they made factory mounts for the lowers as well. It looks like a round bar with the ends milled down and holes drilled in it. Slides into the bottom shock mounts to bolt to the factory holes in the lower arms.

 

I was going to do something like you are talking about.
However, I spoke with Chase at Ridetech and told him what I was doing.
I then sent him and email with pictures.

When we spoke again he told me his recommendation and why.
As for me I have to say Chase has more knowledge and experience over me when it comes to an air ride setup.

I agree 100%, he certainly does have more knowledge when it comes to suspension, no doubt, haha.

Is this going to be for off-road use or dropped street truck style? I'm curious to know the method to your madness . You should post those pictures here to.

 

Strictly enjoyable "smooth" road use, with some camping and ease of leveling.

 

WOW, I'd say forget about the 2010 and up and restore that bad boy, that is awesome.

 

Tig, This motorhome what I am working on and not a Silverado.

But I want to install a 2014 and up Silverado LV3 4.3lt, 6L80e, Corvette differential and the Silverado 4x4 front suspension in the back of this motorhome. With Air Ride..

Nice. Man that is crazy.
What would that weigh in at?
What's the method to your madness by using a V6? I'd think you'd want the HP and TQ of a V8.
None the less bad ***. I love this stuff.
Reminds me of Ringbrothers Winnebago "Party RV" with a 900hp LS in it.
