If you're looking to upgrade your ride quality without breaking the bank, the Belltech Street Performance OEM shocks are a solid choice for anyone with a 2021 or newer Ford F-150 4WD. These shocks are designed with the kind of attention to detail that makes a difference on the road, especially if you’re hauling gear or just cruising around town. I've put these through their paces, and let me tell you, they deliver a ride that feels both smooth and controlled.
What sets these shocks apart is how well they handle low-speed compression. This design feature really helps manage the pitch and roll of your truck, making it feel stable whether you’re navigating tight corners or hitting the brakes hard. And if you’ve got some aftermarket wheels, the progressive rebound tuning keeps everything in check, so you don’t feel like you're bouncing all over the place.
Now, let's talk about the specs. These shocks come with metal dust boots to keep dirt out, and the hardened chrome 15mm piston rods are built to last. The triple lip NBR rod seal and Teflon guide bushing reduce friction, which means they’ll hold up over time. With 35mm pistons that feature low friction Teflon seals and a 51mm wide body for increased oil volume, you get a shock that not only performs well but also feels like it’s built for the long haul.
Features that matter:
For those who like to DIY, you can find the installation instructions here. It’s pretty straightforward if you’ve got some basic tools and a bit of know-how.
In short, if you want to elevate your F-150's handling and comfort without sacrificing control, these Belltech OEM shocks are worth considering. They bring a blend of performance, stability, and comfort that makes every drive feel like a breeze.

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.
