BellTech Ranger Trail front shocks

[DLinc184]

Looks like I'm going to have to raise the front of my 21 Tremor to get rid of the ass-up attitude. I really should be lowered in the rear.

In lieu of usiong spacers, and since I don't really want to spend the money on new adjustable coil overs, I was wondering if anyone has installed the:

BELLTECH TRAIL PERFORMANCE (FRONT, LIFTED)
Part #: 26021
https://www.belltech.com/products/b...ech-trail-performance-front-lifted-26021.html

These are adjustable from 1" to 3".

Anybody know how these ride as compared to OEM Fox struts on a Tremor?

They are not going to ride as good as your tuned by Fox tremor suspension. The tremor suspension is between the fox 2.0 and fox 2.5. On road comfort may be similar, but fox's excel at high speeds offroad.

These are probably only an upgrade to stock ranger suspension which is garbage.

If you want something similar to your suspension I'd look at fox's, icon, or kings in 2.0 for adjustability. If you wanna save money plenty are happy with Bilstein 5100's.

Mixing shocks isn't usually advisable due to valving differences.. especially if your wanting to bang around an off-road track.

Nearly all of the performance related appeal of the tremor package over the poverty models is the fox shocks too so... really doesn't make sense to to bin them and replace with an objectively worse part.

Spacers would be the way to go.

Just an illustration why it sits high in the rear. Rangers ( and Tremors) are rated at 7500 lbs towing capacity. Our rig weighs around 6000 lbs loaded and about 650 lbs tongue weight. So with trailer attached it’s pretty much level. So it’s performing as designed. If it was lowered in the rear or raised in front then it would change the geometry for towing. So the weird look to you is actually a designed function of the truck. Not faulting your perception but trying to explain why it’s the way it is. Oh , and when disconnected from trailer it’s fantastic off road.

Honestly get a 2 inch spacer for the current stock Tremor suspension in the front and call it a day.
