In 1983, Belltech introduced a groundbreaking product that played a pivotal role in igniting the Sport Truck trend—the Drop Spindle. By strategically relocating the spindle pin (or hub) higher on the spindle casting, our engineers achieved a remarkable 2-3" drop without adversely impacting front end suspension or steering geometry, including the shock absorber!
Belltech Drop Spindles cater to various drop amounts depending on your application, enhancing handling while preserving the factory ride quality. These spindles meticulously maintain critical suspension geometry, eradicating issues like excessive ball joint, shock, and tire wear commonly associated with alternative lowering methods. Each spindle is precision-crafted from powdercoated, CNC machined, high-strength ductile iron castings, ensuring structural integrity that surpasses all factory specifications and requirements.
