In 1983, Belltech introduced a revolutionary product known as the Drop Spindle, which had a profound impact on the automotive industry by sparking the Sport Truck craze. This innovative component allowed vehicle owners to achieve a lowered ride height without compromising the integrity of their front-end suspension or steering geometry.

Here's a detailed overview of Belltech's Drop Spindles and their benefits:

1. Functionality and Design:
   • The Drop Spindle works by relocating the spindle pin (or hub) higher on the spindle casting. This adjustment allows for a significant drop in ride height, typically 2 inches or 3 inches, while maintaining optimal suspension performance and steering responsiveness.
   • Unlike other lowering methods, such as cutting coils or heating springs, which can adversely affect suspension geometry and ride quality, Belltech's Drop Spindles ensure that these critical aspects remain intact.
2. Benefits:
   • Improved Handling: Lowering the vehicle's center of gravity enhances handling dynamics, making the vehicle more responsive during cornering and overall driving.
   • Preservation of Ride Quality: Belltech Drop Spindles are designed to maintain factory ride quality by preserving the original suspension geometry. This approach minimizes issues like excessive ball joint, shock absorber, and tire wear.
   • Durability: Crafted from high-strength ductile iron and precision CNC machined, Belltech spindles are built to withstand rigorous use and provide long-lasting reliability.
   • Corrosion Resistance: The spindles feature a powder-coated finish that enhances durability and protects against corrosion, ensuring they meet or exceed factory specifications.
3. Applications and Variants:
   • Belltech offers Drop Spindles in various lowered ride heights to accommodate different vehicle applications. This versatility allows enthusiasts to customize their vehicles while ensuring optimal performance and safety.

In essence, Belltech Drop Spindles represent a dependable solution for vehicle customization, offering enthusiasts the ability to achieve a lowered stance while enhancing handling characteristics and maintaining structural integrity. Their innovation in preserving suspension geometry and ensuring durability has made them a preferred choice among automotive enthusiasts looking to personalize and improve their vehicles' performance.

NOTE: Box was opened for mock up. Was never used or mounted. Still has original packaging, instructions, and covers on the spindles. There are no warranties or returns as this is still an open box item and we are not dealers for Belltech, this was a product we were possibly going to use on a project truck and changed directions.

*These spindles will increase the track width of your vehicle by approximately .45" per side. These were developed to allow the fitment of small diameter wheels (15" - 16") that were popular at the time of inception. Please make sure you are aware of this increase in track width before you purchase these lowering spindles.
