Belltech 4 inch lift kit review

[Digger87]

I couldn't really find any reviews or info for the 4 inch belltech lift kit online. It seemed too good to be true as it's priced under $1200 CAD. Height Adjustable front struts, UCA's, rear shocks, rear blocks, and a skid plate. I decided to take a gamble and get this kit over bilstein and fox. I am extremely impressed. Belltech claims this is the best riding lift kit and I have to agree. I had bilstein 5100 on my f150 and I'd have to say I prefer belltech both on and off road. Significant improvement over the OEM Ranchos.

 

With the Ranchos I had quite a bit of body roll when cornering. The steering felt unresponsive and wallowy. When I hit a bump, dip, railroad tracks or any imperfection in the road it felt like my truck got launched into the stratosphere and it would bounce several times before stabilizing. That has all been corrected with the belltech shocks. No body roll, steering feels tight and responsive. The compression and rebound are tuned perfectly for these trucks. The ride is quite a bit firmer but it stays controlled and composed and does an incredible job at smoothing out any imperfection.

 

Offroad I am equally as impressed as the on road performance. I did a test drive up a decommissioned logging road that hasn't been maintained in years. The ride felt smooth, controlled, and handled large pot holes with ease. with the stock suspension and even the bilstein 5100 on my previous truck, I had quite a bit of chatter if I picked up speed. Didn't get any chatter with the belltech kit.

 

The UCA's are quite beefy and even have grease zerks which is typically only found on higher end kits. No loss in turning radius. The skid plate is nothing fancy but does what it's intended to do.

 

I highly recommend this kit if you're looking for a 4 or 6 inch lift. At the price they're asking it may even be worth it to get this kit over a level.  I am running 285/75/17 on 0 offset wheels with no rub so you could fit a 34" tire.

Guessing yours was not an AT4? How many miles were on the stock suspension before changing over? Replacing worn out stock stuff with new will make anything feel great. I've run Belltech stuff on my lowered trucks and they performed well for the price. Have been considering the 4" kit for the Trail Boss myself, but I really only need the front struts/springs and rear shocks as I have Rough Country forged aluminum A arms and a 3" block kit already waiting to go on. I have the pieces for a level in the front but keep debating if I want to just spend the extra $ for an upgrade when I'll have it all torn apart.

The truck looks great.

4 struts blown in 2.5 years, good warranty. Poor product

I know I'm a bit late to this party, but I just ordered the Belltech 4" lift kit for my 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited. It hasn't been installed yet, but I'm really excited to get it installed! I ended up purchasing the kit because of this thread, thank you all for your help and input!
