Belltech Performance Shocks

[HemiBabe]

Figured I would start a thread for anyone trying to decide on what shocks to go with for their lowered Ram.

When I first lowered mine, I got the Nitro Drop 2's since I had read reviews they provided a smooth ride. After installing them in the front and rear, I noticed that they were a little TOO soft. Yes, the ride quality is better than OEM, but with the weight of the motor, the truck wanted to nose dive a lot causing my tires to hit the front fenders frequently on the highway and in town.

I just purchased the Belltech Street Performance shocks for the front, and right out of the box, I noticed how much bigger they were than the Nitro 2s.
With the Nitros, I could compress the shock with 2 fingers, but with the Street Performance ones, I had to put my entire body weight into it and I still barely compressed it, which leads me to think they wouldnt let the motor dive down so easily anymore.

In my opinion, I would highly recommend the Belltech Street Performance shocks for our lowered fullsize Rams. Yes, they are a little more expensive, but wayyyyy worth what you get in return

I hope this helps

Very nice. Do you have the part numbers for the front and rear?

What are you doing with your old ones?

I haven't bought ones for the rear as of yet, just the fronts. The part # for the front is BEL-2215FF i think. Right now I'm havin a brain fart b/c I cant remember where in the world I ordered em from lol

I have the front Nitro Drop 2's in the boxes these came in, only had em on my truck for a few months at the most. Sellin em both for $50 if you want em
