Construction & Design

The Bilstein B6 4600 shocks feature a robust monotube construction that separates the gas and oil chambers, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent damping performance even under demanding conditions. The digressive piston design is velocity sensitive, meaning it provides softer damping on small bumps for comfort and firmer resistance on larger impacts for control. This design is tuned specifically for each vehicle application to maintain the ideal balance between comfort and handling.

Finished in Bilstein’s signature yellow paint, these shocks resist corrosion and wear, extending service life. The absence of an external reservoir simplifies installation and maintains a clean undercarriage appearance.

Installation & Fitment

These front shocks are designed as a direct fit for the following vehicles without requiring any modifications:

• 2006–2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab 2WD (without solid front axle)

• 2003–2012 Dodge Ram 3500 2WD

Installation is straightforward, utilizing existing mounting points and hardware. It is recommended to replace both front shocks simultaneously to maintain balanced suspension performance. No additional spring seats or mounting kits are required for this application.
