Belltech ND2 OEM Shock

If you're looking to restore the original ride comfort and handling on your 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma, this Belltech ND2 OEM shock is a solid option. It's designed to give you that familiar factory feel while also offering a bit of an improvement in how the suspension responds to the road. Belltech focused on the daily driver, tuning the shock valving to increase low-speed compression and adjust rebound forces. This means you get a smoother ride over small bumps and better control when the suspension is working.

What makes this shock work well is its construction. It features a large 55mm body diameter with a twin-tube design, which allows for more oil inside. More oil means better heat dissipation, helping the shock last longer, especially during extended use. The piston rod is hardened chrome, and it uses a triple-lip seal and a Teflon guide bushing to keep things running smoothly with low friction. Plus, the steel dust cover protects the rod and seals from dirt and UV damage, which is a nice touch for durability.

You'll also find that the rubber bushings are made from high-durometer material, which helps cut down on noise and vibration coming into the cabin. This shock is built to be a direct replacement, so installation should be straightforward, fitting right into your Tacoma's original mounting points.
