Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 1963-1972 Chevrolet C10/1967-1972 GMC C15 Belltech Nitro Drop 2 Rear Shock | 2-5 Inch Lowering | 8508. This vehicle-specific rear shock absorber is designed for lowered classic GM trucks and provides improved suspension control, ride stability, and handling characteristics on applications with approximately 2 to 5 inches of rear lowering.
Belltech Nitro Drop 2 shocks are engineered specifically for lowered suspension applications, helping restore proper shock travel and damping control after changing the vehicle's ride height. The shock features a larger 45mm diameter damper body, independent rebound and compression valving, and application-specific tuning to provide consistent performance for street-driven trucks.
Additional features include Teflon guide bushings, a triple-lip NBR rod seal, metal dust boot protection, and reinforced OEM-quality vulcanized bushings for improved durability. This shock is sold individually and is designed as a direct replacement upgrade for lowered applications using compatible mounting locations.
