If you're thinking about lowering your Sport Truck or SUV, let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked: the shock absorbers. A lot of folks just stick with the factory units and call it a day, thinking they’re “good enough.” But trust me, when you lower your ride, those OEM shocks can become pretty useless, especially if you’re using components that cut down their effective travel.

What happens? You end up with a rough ride and a whole lot of frustration. Picture this: you’re cruising along, and suddenly you need to swerve to avoid something in the road. That’s when you realize that those factory shocks aren’t cutting it anymore. You’ll feel excessive body roll, front-end dive when you hit the brakes, and rear sag when you hit the gas. Essentially, your dampers are tied up, unable to do their job of controlling your suspension movements.

Now, here’s where Belltech comes into play. Their parent company, KW Automotive, is a big player in shock absorber tech. They’re the go-to for some serious names in the game, like the ACR Viper team at Chrysler and Mercedes AMG. So, you know they know their stuff.

Belltech has teamed up with KW’s engineers to create a brand-new line of shock absorbers specifically for Sport Trucks. These aren’t just any shocks; they’re designed to give you a smooth ride while keeping everything under control.

Belltech Street Performance Shock Absorbers

These shocks are all about tuning the low-speed compression, which means they help manage your truck or SUV’s pitch and roll, dive, and squat. This is crucial for keeping you confident behind the wheel, especially when you’re pushing your rig a bit harder. Plus, the progressive rebound tuning works perfectly with larger aftermarket wheels, giving you a ride that feels both smooth and responsive.

  • Top-notch street performance solution
  • Oversized construction for better damping control
  • 15mm piston rod, 35mm piston, and a hefty 55mm shock body
  • Internal Teflon-coated bushings and piston seals to prevent metal-on-metal contact
  • Low friction design for long-lasting performance
  • Boosts handling and performance while keeping comfort in check

Fitment Details:
These shocks are specifically designed for the Ford F-150 from 2004 to 2013. If you're dropping your ride between 0-3 inches, the Belltech 9502 Street Performance Shock Set is what you need for all 2004-2008 models. Get ready to enjoy a whole new level of control and comfort!

Who is Belltech Suspension

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 Ride

Each 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 Belltech

Belltech’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 Game

Belltech 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.

What Does Belltech Suspension Offer?

Belltech has the experience, expertise, and technology to conquer any obstacle when it comes to lowering kits. Belltech has been producing lowering kits for more than three decades, providing customers with high-performance lowering kits that look good and perform incredibly well.

As the truck trend grew, more and more owners wanted their vehicles equipped with Belltech lowering kits. It allowed Belltech to expand its lineup and offer lowering kits for more makes and models.
