Their Story: A.V.I.D. – Adventure Vehicles Intelligently Designed
Founded by passionate automotive enthusiasts, Belltech emerged from a shared vision to create high-performance suspension products that would transform the driving experience. Since the 1980s, the company has aimed to fill a market gap by offering innovative lowering kits and suspension components designed to enhance vehicle handling, appearance, and safety.
From its early beginnings, Belltech has grown into a leader in the aftermarket automotive industry, continuously expanding its product offerings. In addition to its renowned lowering suspension solutions, the company introduced a lifted suspension line, applying the same commitment to quality, performance, and innovation for the off-road adventurer. Whether on the street or the trails, Belltech provides suspension systems that elevate the driving experience for all.
