If you’ve been looking to upgrade your ride, the Belltech Nitro Drop 2 shock absorber might just be what you need. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill replacement; it’s built to enhance your driving experience, especially if you're cruising in a Toyota Tundra or Tacoma. I’ve had my share of shocks, and let me tell you, these are a solid choice.
First off, they fit a range of models. If you’ve got a Toyota Tundra from 2000 to 2006 (without the TRD package), or a Tacoma Prerunner from 2005 to 2012, or even the 4WD Tacoma from the same years, these shocks are designed to work with you. Just keep in mind, they’re sold individually, so if you’re thinking about a full set, grab a few!
What I really appreciate about the Nitro Drop 2 is how it balances comfort and performance. They do a great job of absorbing bumps and keeping your ride smooth, whether you’re on the highway or tackling some rough terrain. The nitrogen gas charge helps maintain consistent performance, even when the road gets a bit bumpy. You’ll notice the difference in how your truck handles, especially when you’re loaded up or towing.
Plus, the installation is straightforward, which is a huge plus if you’re the DIY type. You don’t need to be a mechanic to get these on your truck. Just a few tools and a little elbow grease, and you’re set. It’s like giving your vehicle a little TLC without breaking the bank.
So, if you’re ready to ditch those old OEM shocks and want something that’s built to last while improving your ride quality, the Belltech Nitro Drop 2 is worth considering. Trust me, you’ll feel the difference on your next adventure.

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.
