Overview:

The Belltech Trail Performance Lift Rear Shock is engineered specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2002 to 2010 and Ram 1500 models from 2011 to 2018. Designed to enhance ride quality and vehicle control, this premium twin-tube gas-charged shock absorber is ideal for trucks and SUVs equipped with leveled or lifted suspensions. It expertly manages pitch, roll, dive, and squat, providing drivers with confidence and stability on both on- and off-road terrain.

Whether you’re upgrading your Ram for aggressive off-road tires or simply seeking improved handling and comfort, the Trail Performance shock delivers a smooth yet firm ride that complements your vehicle’s suspension dynamics. Its advanced tuning ensures optimal performance without sacrificing durability or reliability.

Key Features:

Belltech’s engineers have focused on tuning the low-speed compression characteristics to control body motions effectively. This shock absorber incorporates several advanced features to maximize performance and longevity:

• Progressive rebound tuning designed to complement large, aggressive off-road tires
• Metal dust boots for enhanced protection against dirt and debris
• Hardened 15mm chrome piston rods for superior strength and corrosion resistance
• Triple lip NBR rod seal combined with Teflon guide bushings to minimize friction and wear
• Large 35mm pistons with low-friction Teflon seals for precise hydraulic control
• Wide 51mm shock body to increase oil volume and improve heat dissipation
• OEM-quality rubber bushings vulcanized with high durometer compounds to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)
• Steel dust covers that resist UV damage and chemical deterioration
• Twin-tube design for enhanced shock life and consistent damping performance
• 2-year unlimited mileage warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design:

The Trail Performance Lift Rear Shock is built with durability and performance in mind. Its 51mm wide body accommodates a larger oil volume, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during extended use, reducing the risk of fade and extending shock life. The 15mm hardened chrome piston rod ensures smooth operation and resistance to corrosion, while the triple lip NBR rod seal and Teflon guide bushings minimize internal friction, allowing the shock to respond quickly to subtle suspension movements.

High-quality materials such as vulcanized rubber bushings reduce NVH, improving overall ride comfort. The steel dust boot protects critical components from environmental damage, ensuring consistent performance in harsh conditions. This combination of advanced engineering and robust materials makes the Belltech Trail Performance shock a reliable upgrade for lifted or leveled Dodge Ram and Ram 1500 trucks.

Designed as a direct replacement for the rear shocks on 2002–2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2011–2018 Ram 1500 models, the Belltech Trail Performance Lift Rear Shock fits both stock and lifted suspensions. Installation is straightforward and requires no special modifications, making it suitable for professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike. Always consult the vehicle’s service manual and follow proper safety procedures during installation.
