Belltech Street Performance Shocks
I had some crappy shocks that came with my drop kit for the longest time. The roads in the northeast suck really bad. So I decided to purchase the new shocks that Belltech has out. All I have to say is, wow. It made a huge difference. It is still a dropped truck, but it is much more comfortable to ride in. So if you are thinking about buying these shocks, I think it is a good investment.

Stiffness? I'd give them a 6 or 7. They are firm but not rough. They seem to dampen the shock of road hazards well but not ride like a skateboard. Where before i would change lanes to avoid rough areas of road where I used to cringe I now just relax and glide over them. I still hit the stops in the rear when taking a hard hit but that is more a matter of the 4" drop.

what size tires are you running sleek? do you have any rubs or bottoming out issues with those tires?

I bought my shocks from Stylin Concepts. see sponsor -------------->
I am running Toyo Proxy S/T 275/40/20 and I havd to roll the passenger side fender. No rubbing at all. I also put the shock extenders on the rear since I have a 4/6 drop. That seemed to help a lot too.
The shocks really do take the harshness out of the road. The truck really holds the road like before, but I have a much more comfortable ride.
