Description
The Bilstein B6 4600 suspension shock absorber, part number 24-186070, is a direct-fit upgrade for stock-height light trucks and SUVs. Designed to replace the original equipment shock absorber without requiring vehicle modifications, it delivers improved ride quality, handling, and comfort while maintaining compatibility with the factory suspension configuration. This application fits select 2004–2006 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models, as well as 2012–2013 Ram 2500 and 2012 Ram 3500 vehicles; verify fitment before ordering.
The B6 4600 uses a durable monotube internal design with a velocity-sensitive digressive piston. This technology allows the shock to respond quickly to changing road and driving conditions, helping provide consistent, fade-free damping during daily driving, towing, hauling, and demanding light-truck use. Bilstein tunes each shock absorber for its specific vehicle application to support controlled handling and a balanced ride on stock-height vehicles. The non-adjustable damping is engineered for dependable performance without manual setup.
Finished with Bilstein’s signature yellow paint, this shock absorber includes a blue straight boot for added protection of the piston rod. The lower mount uses an eye-style configuration with a 14.4 mm mounting specification, while the upper mount uses a stem design. The unit does not include a spring seat or external reservoir. Extended length is 23.23 inches and collapsed length is 14.64 inches. This product is intended for light-truck suspension applications and carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm; visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for additional information.
