Product Description

The Bilstein 24-317801 B6 4600 front shock is a premium monotube upgrade designed specifically for 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD trucks. Engineered as a direct OE replacement, this shock enhances ride quality, handling, and control without requiring suspension modifications.

Built with Bilstein's signature velocity-sensitive digressive valving, this shock automatically adapts to road conditions, delivering a smooth and controlled ride during normal driving while providing firm resistance under load or aggressive driving. Its monotube construction ensures consistent fade-free performance, making it ideal for towing, daily driving, and light off-road use.

This application is confirmed for 4WD Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2006 through 2008, across multiple trims including SLT, Laramie, ST, Sport, TRX4, and SXT. It is important to note that this part excludes Mega Cab variants and is designed strictly for stock-height vehicles. Fitment is verified through 2008, with no confirmed coverage beyond that year at the time of this listing.
