Belltech Nitro Drop 2 Shock Absorber for Select 1973-2003 Ford F-100, F-150, and F-250 - 8518
$65.00
This product will be available for sale in 2 weeks, but you can pre-order now to receive 10% discount!
Fits select 1973-2003 Ford F-100, F-150, and F-250. This Belltech Nitro Drop 2 shock absorber is engineered to provide a precise balance of ride comfort and suspension performance for daily-driven trucks. By increasing low-speed compression and tuning the rebound forces, Belltech engineers have achieved a damper that maintains factory-style comfort while significantly improving road feel and tire grip.
The Nitro Drop 2 series features application-specific shortened bodies, designed to maintain proper shock travel when used with lowering kits. The large 55mm twin-tube body increases oil volume for superior heat dissipation, preventing fade during extended use. A 30mm piston and high-durometer vulcanized rubber bushings ensure long-term durability and reduced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH).
- Large 55mm body diameter with twin-tube design for increased oil volume
- 30mm piston and rebound valve for consistent damping performance
- Low-friction sealing and guide system for quick-reacting response
- Durable steel dust cover protects the piston rod and sealing system from debris and UV
- High-durometer vulcanized rubber bushings for improved NVH control
- Shortened shock body optimized for lowered suspension heights
- Manufacturer Part Number: 8518
- Warranty: 2 Year / Unlimited Mileage
