What is the main benefit of the 51mm wide body design?

The larger 51mm body holds more hydraulic fluid. This increased volume helps dissipate heat more effectively, which leads to longer shock life and consistent performance, especially during extended use or under heavy loads.

How does the tuning of this shock affect my truck's handling?

Belltech specifically tuned the low-speed compression to control body movements like pitch, roll, dive, and squat. This means the shock helps keep your truck more stable during braking, acceleration, and cornering, giving you a more confident feel.

Does this shock absorber come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This shock absorber includes OEM-quality rubber bushings. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation guide or consult a professional to confirm if any additional hardware is required for your specific vehicle application.

About this part

Product Details

The 35mm pistons and low-friction Teflon seals in this Belltech Street Performance shock absorber allow for greater hydraulic control, especially during quick wheel movements and over the full range of the shock's travel. This is a twin-tube, gas-charged shock designed to work with lowered trucks and SUVs, helping to manage body roll and pitch for a more confident feel behind the wheel. It's built with a large 51mm wide body, which holds more oil for better heat dissipation and longer shock life, even under demanding conditions. The hardened chrome 15mm piston rod is protected by a metal dust cover and a triple-lip NBR rod seal, keeping contaminants out and ensuring smooth operation. You'll also find vulcanized rubber bushings that help reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a more comfortable ride.

Belltech focused on tuning the low-speed compression characteristics of this shock. This is the part that really controls how your truck or SUV handles things like braking dive and acceleration squat, keeping you planted. The progressive rebound tuning is also a notable feature, designed to work well with larger aftermarket wheels and keep the ride feeling firm but smooth. This shock absorber is a solid option for many classic GM trucks and SUVs from the 70s and 80s, offering improved on-road manners.
