Construction & Design

The Bilstein B6 4600 shocks feature a robust monotube construction that allows for superior heat management and consistent damping performance under demanding conditions. The monotube design separates the gas and oil chambers with a floating piston, reducing aeration and fade during extended use. The digressive piston technology provides a smooth ride over small bumps while firming up on larger impacts, delivering a balanced combination of comfort and control.

Each shock absorber is precision-engineered and tuned specifically for the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 4WD solid front axle setup, ensuring optimal performance that matches or exceeds OEM standards. The yellow powder-coated finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also adds a distinctive look under the hood.

No special tools or modifications are required, making it an ideal upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike. It is recommended to replace shocks in pairs to maintain balanced handling and ride quality.
