Upgrade the rear suspension of your van with the Bilstein B6 shock absorber, part number 33-176840. Designed for select 2012–2014 Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 Super Duty applications, this heavy-duty replacement shock delivers improved ride quality, handling, and control. The B6 series is tuned for the specific vehicle application to provide dependable performance without requiring aftermarket springs or other suspension modifications.
The Bilstein B6 uses a 46mm monotube design and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston to respond quickly to changing road and driving conditions. This construction helps maintain consistent, fade-resistant damping during demanding use, while the zinc-plated finish supports long-term durability. The shock features a smooth, non-coilover body, an 11mm shaft, and a blue bellows boot for added shaft protection. It does not include a reservoir or spring seat.
Installation uses a 12mm eye lower mount and stem-style upper mount. The shock is intended for the rear position and is engineered as a direct-fit suspension component for compatible Ford E-Series vehicles. Verify vehicle year, model, suspension configuration, and mounting requirements before ordering. This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm; see www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for more information.
