Has anyone seen reviews or used the Belltech leveling struts? They seem really new.

My response would be why risk it ? …. Bils are the proven “go to” when it comes to leveling struts

Fair enough, but I guess unless someone tries them, we will never know :)

If I hadn't just installed my RC 2" struts I would have tried these. Hopefully someone will give it a try. it would be good for people have affordable options that work. I've had Bilsteins 5100's on trucks in the past and loved them. This time around I wanted to try something a little less expensive so I'm trying the Rough Country struts. so far so good.

Got impatient waiting on the bilstein and decided to try the belltechs. RC'S were on my mind but wanted to have the option to go up by half inch. I have the off road package and was looking to do 1 more inch. Just did the install twice and finish late in the night. 1" first and decided to change it to 1.5 " drove it around the block. Having a hard time feeling any difference in the ride quality. Feels the same which is good. I am a little nose height. Waiting on the suspension to settle as i should still be half inch lower in the front

I didnt know these were available.
I have 5100's ordered, but if they dont ship in a week or 2 I will probably try the Belltech.
I bet for 95% of us they will be just fine as long as their are no major flaws.

I look forward to jl13's review.
You should make a Belltech adjustable front strut thread after you get some more miles on them.

Belltech’s a staple in the lowered truck and street rod community. They have quality stuff, but they certainly aren’t as plush as bilstein.

sure thing I will do an update
and funny thing, i did my install on Sunday, Monday I get a notification from shock surplus that the 5100 are back in stock. I posted this in another thread that 5100 were in stock. this morning 5100 are gone again. these go out so fast
Another option are the eibach's. There are good reviews on these from a few members in this forum. I have the off road package and when I reached out to make sure that these were compatible with the off road group I was told that these were not from Eibach's team.

yea I was surprise at first to find these there but I think they are moving more aggressively with product for the lifting community. Atleast that is what I get from their newsletter.

Interesting. I have rear 5100's and B12 rear springs I probably will not use.
But was hoping my summit Dec29th estimate was close. I ordered a while ago.
Im not waiting until march, thats for sure.

Eibachs absolutely work with the ORG. Set them to 1.8”. Eibach Pro-Truck shocks part # EIB-E60-27-011-03-10. I think I paid $215 shipped from Nick at Gotexhaust.

I had a feeling they would but i didn't want to take a chance after being told by their customer service that they wouldn't work with the off road package
