Icons Meet Icons as Street Trucks Take a Tour

In the heart of Fresno, California, lies a powerhouse of innovation in the custom truck industry: Belltech Suspension. Since its inception in 1983, Belltech has been synonymous with pioneering lowering suspensions for Chevrolet pickups, igniting a revolution in truck customization. Recently, Street Trucks had the exclusive opportunity to delve into the behind-the-scenes operations of Belltech, uncovering the secrets behind their iconic products.

At Belltech, the quest for the “best performing” suspension is not just a motto; it’s a driving force shaping their every endeavor. Recognizing the shortcomings of traditional lowering methods, Belltech’s design team engineered a groundbreaking solution: the drop spindle. This innovation not only provided the desired lowered stance but also maintained crucial front-end geometry, ensuring superior roadworthiness and ride quality.

Belltech became the go-to brand for truck enthusiasts seeking unparalleled performance and style.

Building upon the success of the drop spindle, Belltech expanded its product lineup to shackle hanger kits, lowered coil springs and flip kits. The result? Belltech became the go-to brand for truck enthusiasts seeking unparalleled performance and style.

As the sport truck craze swept across America, Belltech’s influence transcended Chevrolet pickups, catering to Ford, Dodge, and import truck owners alike. This expansion necessitated constant innovation, leading to the development of specialized suspension components tailored to each brand’s unique specifications.

Over the years, Belltech’s relentless pursuit of innovation has excelled its growth from a modest establishment to a state-of-the-art facility spanning over 75,000 square feet in Clovis, California. Partnering with KW automotive in 2005 further elevated Belltech’s capabilities, integrating cutting-edge suspension design and technology.
