Product Description
The BILSTEIN 24-197779 4600 Series Shock Absorber is a premium front suspension upgrade designed specifically for 1999-2016 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty 2WD trucks. Engineered for stock height applications, this Bilstein B6 4600 shock delivers superior ride control, stability, and long-term durability for work trucks, tow rigs, and daily drivers.
Built with Bilstein’s industry-leading 46mm monotube gas pressure technology, this shock absorber provides consistent, fade-free performance even under heavy loads and demanding conditions. Unlike traditional twin-tube shocks, the monotube design improves heat dissipation and responsiveness, making it ideal for towing, hauling, and highway driving.
The velocity-sensitive digressive piston reacts instantly to changing road surfaces, delivering a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining firm control under heavy braking, cornering, and rough terrain. Each shock is application-specific tuned to ensure optimal performance for Ford Super Duty trucks.
