1988-1998 Chevy C1500 Coilover Conversion
and 4-Link Kit
Belltech has been building lowering kits for the Chevy OBS since the late 80s and few vehicles have played a bigger role in our legacy. Following the celebration of our 40th anniversary, we set out to create a modern suspension solution for the truck that helped put us on the map.
The result: a complete front and rear coilover and 4-link conversion kit for the 1988–1998 C1500 that brings modern performance, ride quality, and adjustability to a classic.
This fully bolt-on system is engineered to deliver the aggressive stance you want along with the handling, comfort, and control you expect. Whether at the track, cruising the street, or handling the daily commute, this setup is built to perform.
