Belltech’s latest innovation the new coilover style truck
lowering and lifting shock program was designed in conjunction with
the engineers of Belltech's associate company KW suspensions
“The international leader in performance suspension
systems”.
Specifically designed McPherson type front struts with relocated
spring seat mounts allow for different spring seat positions.
Depending on spacer configurations, the shock produces varying ride
heights in 1” increments within a 0-2” range.
Belltech’s newly designed “Street Performance”
shock technology empowers you with the perfect balance of
performance, comfort and ride height flexibility.
• Customize and increase performance with just one
purchase
• Retain the use of stock springs
• Designed for stock ride height replacement, lowering or
lifting in 1” increments, up to 2”
• New “Street Performance” dampening
technology
Factory McPherson struts provide a very limited range of suspension
travel. It is important to select and use specifically designed
struts for its intended purpose.
- Belltech’s
“Drop Version”
shock absorber has been designed with a shorter shock body and a
overall shortened length to maintain suspension travel and proper
preload of the factory spring in all positions.
- Belltech’s
“Lift Version”
shock absorber is provided with more travel and full extended
length design to maintain suspension travel.

Over 25 years ago a 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. Shackles, 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. Belltech's success in the late '80's and
'90's made it possible for the company to grow from a modest
beginning, to a larger manufacturing facility with a satellite
warehouse and finally in 2003 to the current 115,000+ sq. ft.
operation located in Sanger, California. The Sanger facility has
made it possible to expand every aspect of the operation. In early
2005 Belltech and its sister company Suspension Techniques joined
the team of KW automotive North America, Inc, the North American
arm of KW automotive GmbH, Germany. As part of KW automotive North
America, Inc Belltech continues its growth in product development
and technology advancement along with its three sibling companies:
KW Suspensions - The world leader in height and dampening
adjustable coilover suspension.
