Product Description

The Bilstein AK2284 is a B6 4600 series rear shock designed as a direct replacement upgrade for stock rear shocks on select Ford light trucks. Engineered with a monotube gas-pressure design and a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston, this shock absorber provides consistent damping performance across varied road conditions - helping maintain control and comfort whether hauling cargo, towing, or navigating rough surfaces.

Built for applications including 1997-2003 Ford F-150 and 1997-1999 Ford F-250 4WD models, the AK2284 fits without modifying ride height and uses OEM mounting points for straight-forward installation. Its robust construction, corrosion-resistant finish, and included boot help protect against the elements, while Bilstein's lifetime limited warranty adds confidence for long-term use.
