Back in the 80s, when customizing sport trucks was just starting to take off, a small crew in Fresno, California, had an idea that would shake things up. They weren’t just looking to lower trucks; they wanted to change the game entirely. That’s how Belltech came to be. Fast forward over 25 years, and their commitment to quality and innovation is what keeps them at the top of the game.
What’s cool about Belltech is their approach to lowering your ride. Instead of messing with your factory leaf springs, they’ve engineered some neat bracketry and replacement components—think Belltech Shackles and Hangers. These bad boys let you reposition the leaf spring mounting points, which means you can drop your Sport Truck or SUV without sacrificing that OEM ride quality. Yeah, you heard that right. You can keep the factory load capacity while still getting that low-down look.
Now, if you’re considering a drop, Belltech has you covered with both individual Shackles and Hangers or complete kits, depending on how low you want to go. You can lower the rear of your leaf spring-equipped truck or SUV by up to 5 inches, depending on what you’re driving. It’s a solid way to improve your stance without going overboard.

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.
