Product Description

The Bilstein 24-185134 B6 4600 Series Front Shock is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the front suspension of 4WD Ford F-150 trucks from 1997 to 2003 and the 2004 F-150 Heritage, as well as select 4WD Ford F-250 models from 1997-1999. Featuring Bilstein's monotube gas-pressure technology with a velocity-sensitive digressive piston, this front shock delivers improved damping control, enhanced steering feel, and greater stability compared to original equipment units. It is tuned specifically for the front suspension geometry of these Ford light trucks, helping provide a smoother ride and better performance in everyday driving, towing, and loaded conditions.

Built with durability in mind, the B6 4600 shock includes a corrosion-resistant yellow finish and a blue protective boot to shield the piston rod from road debris and environmental exposure. This shock is ideal for truck owners who want enhanced ride quality, better handling, and reliable performance without changing ride height. Installation is straightforward using factory mounting points, making it an excellent upgrade or replacement for worn front shocks on compatible 4WD Ford F-Series vehicles.
