Construction & Design

Belltech’s Trail Performance struts are built to endure the challenges of both on-road driving and off-road adventures. The 50mm shock bodies are engineered for strength and longevity, while the hardened chrome piston rods resist wear and corrosion to maintain consistent performance over time. The triple lip rod seals and Teflon guide bushings minimize internal friction, extending the service life of the strut.

The 51mm wide shock body design increases oil capacity, which helps reduce heat buildup and maintain damping consistency during extended use. OEM quality rubber bushings ensure a quiet, secure installation that integrates seamlessly with the Ram 1500’s factory suspension system.
