Construction & Design

The Bilstein B6 4600 shocks feature a robust monotube construction that separates the gas and oil chambers, reducing aeration and ensuring consistent damping performance even under extreme conditions. This design also enhances heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during prolonged or demanding use.

The internal digressive piston is velocity sensitive, automatically adjusting the damping force based on suspension movement speed. This provides a smooth, comfortable ride over minor bumps while delivering firm control during aggressive driving or rough terrain. The shock body is finished with Bilstein’s signature yellow powder coat, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability to withstand harsh environments.

Precision engineering guarantees a perfect fit for the rear suspension of the Jeep Grand Cherokee without the need for additional components such as spring seats or reservoirs, ensuring a straightforward installation process.

Installation & Fitment

The Bilstein B6 4600 Rear Shock Absorbers are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the rear shocks on 1993–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with OEM ride height. Installation is simple and requires no special tools or modifications, making it accessible for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

For optimal suspension balance and handling, it is recommended to replace both rear shocks simultaneously. This ensures consistent performance and maintains the vehicle’s original ride characteristics.
