If you're looking to upgrade your ride, let me tell you about the Belltech Trail Performance lift shocks. These aren’t just your average shocks; they’re designed specifically for today’s trucks and SUVs, and they really make a difference out on the trails or even just cruising around town. I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs (literally) with different setups, and I can say these shocks are a game changer.
The real magic lies in the way they handle low-speed compression. You know how it feels when your truck dives too much when you hit the brakes? Or how it rolls a bit too much in the corners? These shocks tackle that by keeping your ride steady and in control. It’s all about confidence, whether you’re navigating a rocky path or just trying to keep your coffee from spilling during a turn.
What’s really cool is the progressive rebound tuning. It works wonders with larger off-road tires, giving you a ride that feels both smooth and firm. You get that plush feel when you need it, but it doesn’t lose its grip when the going gets tough. It's like having the best of both worlds.
Now, let’s talk specs. The shocks come with some solid features: metal dust boots to keep dirt at bay, hardened chrome 15mm piston rods, and a triple lip NBR rod seal that’s built to last. The 35mm pistons are designed with low friction Teflon seals, which really helps with performance. Plus, the wide 51mm body increases oil volume, so you can expect better heat dissipation and overall durability. OEM quality rubber bushings round it all out, ensuring a snug fit.
Here’s what you get in the box:

As for fitment, these shocks are compatible with a range of Toyota Tacoma models from 2016 to 2023, including:
So, if you’re ready to take your Tacoma to the next level, these Belltech Trail Performance lift shocks might just be what you need. Trust me, your ride will thank you.

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.
