Product Description
The BILSTEIN 24-196444 4600 Series Shock Absorber is engineered to deliver superior rear suspension performance for 2011-2023 GM Silverado and Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 4WD trucks. Designed specifically for stock height applications, this Bilstein B6 4600 rear shock provides enhanced control, improved ride comfort, and long-lasting durability under heavy-duty conditions.
Built with Bilstein’s 46mm monotube gas pressure design, this shock absorber ensures consistent, fade-free damping performance even during towing, hauling, or off-road use.

The velocity-sensitive digressive piston instantly adapts to changing road conditions, delivering a controlled, stable ride without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're towing a trailer or driving daily, this rear shock maximizes stability and confidence.
