When lowering your Sport Truck or SUV, the shock absorbers are often the most overlooked component, with many owners leaving the factory units installed as a 'good enough' afterthought.
However, lowering your Sport Truck or SUV can reduce the effective travel of the shock absorbers, rendering OEM shock absorbers virtually useless.
This results in poor ride quality and a significant safety concern.
The first time you need to perform an emergency maneuver, like swerving to avoid a child, animal, or another vehicle, you will quickly understand the implications.
Excessive body roll, front lean on braking, and rear dip on acceleration are effects of a shock absorber that is not functioning correctly due to being out of its operating range.
You have effectively restricted the dampers, preventing them from controlling or dampening the suspension movements.
KW automotive, Belltech's parent company, is a leader in shock absorber technology and is relied upon for suspension tuning expertise by demanding OEM and aftermarket companies, including the ACR Viper team at Chrysler, Mercedes AMG, Novitec Ferrari, and Hennessey Motorsports.
Engineers from KW automotive and Belltech have dedicated extensive hours to designing and tuning a new line of shock absorbers exclusively for Belltech Sport Truck, SUV, and Muscle Car applications.
