Bilstein B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber — 24-013284
Upgrade the ride, control, and durability of your classic Ford with the Bilstein B6 4600 Series front shock absorber (part #24-013284). This monotube gas-pressure shock is a direct-fit replacement for stock-height Ford trucks and Broncos, including 1994–1997 7.3L Powerstroke F-250 and F-350 2WD models.
Unlike basic twin-tube replacements, the B6 4600 uses a 46mm monotube design with high-pressure nitrogen and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston. It reacts instantly to changing road conditions, delivering consistent fade-free damping, better heat dissipation, and improved stability for daily driving, towing, and hauling.
Key Features
- 46mm monotube construction for larger piston area and superior cooling
- Application-specific valving tuned for stock-height Ford trucks
- Gas-charged design that reduces fade and foaming under load
- Direct bolt-on fit using factory mounting points
- Signature yellow finish with blue dust boot
- Limited lifetime warranty from Bilstein
