Belltech announces the release of its 2011 Dodge RAM lowering kit and anti-sway bar ( 08.10.2010 )

Belltech has just finished development of its lowering solution for the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD.

The Belltech lowering kit lowers the Ram by 2 inches in front and 4 inches in the rear through the use of lower coil springs. As an additional performance option, Belltech also offers its top of the line Street Performance lowering shocks that offer a shorter appropriate stroke for this lowered application as well as a sportier internal valving that increases handling response without the harsh ride trade off. The Street Performance shocks also help in managing the increase unsprung weight of larger diameter ally wheels and tires.The two inch lowering in front does not require additional camber correction as the factory camber correction allows the vehicle to be brought back to a more aggressive -0.8 degrees of camber which offers more aggressive turn in response.

To ensure proper suspension travel, load carrying capabilities and most importantly driving safety, Belltech’s lowering kit also includes their specially formulated progressive bump stops. Unlike cut OEM or polyurethane bumpstop solutions the Belltech lowering bumpstops are designed to provide a soft unnoticeable transition but also the strength that can support the fully loaded truck while still offering sufficent suspension travel and no metal on metal contact. During the development process, Belltech engineers even checked for proper suspension compliance under full load by loading the truck to 1.3 times its maximum rated axle weight capacity (that’s over 1 ton in the truck bed.)

See Belltech’s specially formulated bumpstops in action on the 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 here.

To increase steering response and reduce understeer, Belltech also created a 13/16th inch solid rear anti-sway bar for all Ram 1500 applications. The kit is designed to increase rear roll stiffness and be mounted on stock or lowered trucks. By using Belltech supplied endlinks, the kit can even be fitted to vehicles that were not originally equipped with factory anti-roll bars.
