If you're like me, you know that a truck or SUV isn't just a vehicle; it's a part of your lifestyle. That's why I’m excited to share my experience with Belltech's Street Performance shock absorbers. These aren’t just any shocks; they’re designed for folks who really care about how their ride handles. Belltech gets it—they've been listening to customers like us and have crafted a lineup that genuinely addresses our needs.
With the trend of newer trucks and SUVs rolling out with independent MacPherson front ends, Belltech has stepped up to the plate. They’ve got the know-how and tech to tackle any suspension challenges that come our way. I’ve seen how these shocks perform, and let me tell you, they really do make a difference.
The twin tube design of the Street Performance shocks is where the magic happens. Belltech's engineers have put in a lot of work to tune the low-speed compression characteristics. This means you get better control over your truck, especially when you're navigating those bumpy back roads or making tight turns. It’s all about that smooth ride while still feeling connected to the road.
Now, if you’re driving a Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer or XLT from '97 to '02, or a Lincoln Navigator Base from '98 to '02, these shocks are a perfect fit. They’re tailored to enhance your driving experience without compromising on comfort or performance. Just a heads up, the pictures you see might not match the actual product, but trust me, what you get will deliver on the promise of improved handling.
In short, if you want to upgrade your suspension and really feel the difference, check out the Belltech Front and Rear Street Performance Shock Set. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking to elevate their ride quality and performance.

When it comes to upgrading the overall performance of a vehicle, one of the best upgrades anyone can do is upgrade their suspension. It allows you to improve the vehicle's handling for a better driving experience and improve its stance, giving it a meaner, more aggressive look.
Changing your factory suspension can also improve driving comfort, perfect for those who travel long distances. Now there are multiple companies out there that offer suspension upgrades. Some are better than others. And one of those brands that excel in this department is Belltech Suspension.
Belltech has built a reputation in the automotive industry for producing some of the best lowering kits available on the market. Belltech’s lowering kits are known for their ability to safely, effectively, and efficiently lower a truck.
Helping You Build A Better RideEach Belltech lowering kit, Belltech shock, and Belltech suspension system allows you to customize your truck so that it is ideally suited to your driving needs. It’s the perfect combination of form and function, so your vehicle can look good, stand firm, and deliver a high-quality ride every time.
The History of BelltechBelltech’s story is the perfect definition of the American dream. Over 35 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 abundant there. Trucks of all kinds were being lowered; however, their suspensions were quite terrible and not roadworthy.
Springs were being replaced with new ones not meant for the application. At times, they were even cut and heated with torches at local muffler shops to achieve the lowered stance that was considered to be cool. While the result was an attractive stance, the ride quality was terrible, and comfort levels dropped dramatically.
Changing The Lowering GameBelltech had a better idea: build a spindle where the wheels are higher, but the rest of the front end geometrically remains the same. And that’s precisely what they did. Belltech came up with a spindle that launched the Sport truck craze in America.
Belltech’s success in the late 80s and 90s made it possible for the company to grow from a modest beginning to a larger manufacturing facility with a satellite warehouse. In 2015, the company expanded to its current 75,000-plus square-foot operation in Clovis, California. It allows them to cater to the increasing demands of the market.
