Bilstein B6 4600 Rear Shock Absorber | 24-013291
Give your 7.3 Powerstroke the rear control it lost years ago.
The Bilstein B6 4600 (24-013291) is a direct-fit monotube upgrade for stock-height Ford trucks. It replaces a worn factory shock with a 46mm gas-pressure damper that stays consistent under heat, load, and repeated hits. Daily driving feels tighter. Towing feels more planted. The rear of the truck stops floating and starts working.
This is the shock Super Duty owners buy when they want a real improvement without a lift, a reservoir, or a complicated install.
What it does better than stock
Factory rear shocks on 7.3 trucks fade, sag, and wash out once the miles pile up. The B6 4600 uses a monotube body and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston, so damping changes with the road instead of staying mushy or harsh. You get less bounce on washboard, less squat when you hook up a trailer, and more stability in a crosswind or on a crowned highway.
It is tuned for stock ride height. Keep your OEM springs. Bolt it in. Drive it.
