When you think about lowering your Sport Truck or SUV, historically the most overlooked component is the shock absorbers, with many Sport Truck or SUV owners simply leaving the factory units installed as a “good enough” after thought. However, when you lower your Sport Truck or SUV, many of the components that you will use reduce the effective travel of the shock absorbers and can render your OEM shock absorbers virtually useless. This results in not only poor ride quality & reduced driving enjoyment, but a large safety concern. The first time you need to perform an emergency maneuver like swerving to avoid a child, animal or another vehicle on the road, you will quickly find out exactly what we mean. Excessive body roll and an incredible amount of front lean on braking, and rear dip on acceleration are all effects of a shock absorber (or more appropriately named damper) that is not working correctly as it is out of its element or operating range. You have effectively tied the dampers hands behind its back, not enabling it to do its job and control or dampen the movements of the suspension. Belltech’s parent company KW automotive is a world leader in shock absorber technology and is relied upon for their expertise in suspension tuning by some of the world’s most demanding OEM and Aftermarket companies such as the ACR Viper team at Chrysler, Mercedes AMG, Novitec Ferrari, and Hennessey Motorsports. KW automotive engineers in conjunction with Belltech Engineers have spent countless hours designing and tuning a complete new line of shock absorbers exclusively engineered for Belltech Sport Truck, SUV & Muscle Car applications. *Belltech Street Performance Shock Absorbers* 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, dive and squat to help keep you confident and in control. The “Progressive” rebound tuning will complement large aftermarket wheels, keeping the ride smooth but firm and in control. * The ultimate in Premium Street Performance solution * Vehicle specific applications * Oversized Construction provides additional damping control * 15mm piston rod, 35 mm piston and a 55 mm shock body * Internal Teflon coated bushings and piston seals avoid metal to metal contact,provides lowest possible friction resulting in long lasting performance * Increase in handling and performance at maximum comfort
Features and Benefits
- 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)
- 2 Year Warranty - Unlimited Mileage
