  • Our engineers focused their attention on tuning the low speed compression characteristics of this shock absorber, which is responsible for controlling your Sport Truck or SUV's pitch and roll
  • Progressive rebound tuning complements large aftermarket wheels, keeping the ride smooth but firm and in control
  • Large 45mm body diameters and twin tube design allow for larger oil volume and better heat dissipation leading to increased shock life
  • Large 35mm piston and valves allow greater hydraulic control during quick wheel movements and long shock travel
  • Low friction sealing and guide system creates a quick reacting damper that is sensitive to the smallest of motions with little to no temperature increase during extreme damper conditions
  • Steel dust cover adds protection for the piston rod, sealing system and does not deteriorate from UV exposure or chemicals
  • Tuned high durometer vulcanized rubber bushings reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)

Brand Information

Since 1983 small company in Fresno, California had an idea to build the "best performing" lowering suspensions for the Chevrolet pickup. Fresno had been a haven for lowered vehicles and trucks were in abundance. Trucks were being lowered but their suspensions were terrible and not very roadworthy. Springs were either replaced with new ones not necessarily meant for the application and even worse they may be cut or heated with a torch at the local muffler shop to give the lowered stance that was cool. The stance looked good but the ride was terrible.

Belltech's design staff had a better idea - Why not build a spindle where the wheels are higher but all of the rest of the front end geometry stays the same? In fact that's just what they did and the drop spindle that launched the Sport truck craze in America was born.

To go along with the drop spindle the rest of the truck suspension needed to be addressed also. Shackle Hanger kits, Lowered Coil Springs and Flip kits soon followed. Keeping with the spirit of the "best performing" suspension the Belltech staff designed and created these components using superior materials and designs. The result made Belltech the most asked for and successful truck suspension brand in the industry.

As time went on more and more enthusiasts joined the Sport truck phenomenon. Soon Ford, Dodge and import truck owners wanted to join in on the look and style of Belltech equipped vehicles. This started a whole new market of truck owners that could now do something different and up to date for their brand of truck. Belltech designed and created suspension components for these applications as well and the company grew accordingly.

No matter what your lowered truck suspension needs are, Belltech is there with products to satisfy every desire.
