Bilstein B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber – 24-016179

Upgrade the front suspension on your 7.3L OBS Powerstroke with the Bilstein B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber (part #24-016179). Designed as a direct-fit replacement for stock-height 4WD 1994–1997 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks, this monotube shock delivers noticeably better control, comfort, and fade-free performance compared to worn factory units.

Key Features

• Monotube gas-pressure design – Provides consistent damping and superior heat dissipation for reliable performance under load, whether daily driving, towing, or light off-road use.
• Velocity-sensitive digressive piston – Instantly reacts to changing road conditions for improved handling, reduced body roll, and a more controlled ride.
• Application-specific tuning – Factory-valved specifically for these OBS trucks to optimize ride quality and stability at stock ride height.
• Direct OE replacement – Uses existing mounting points (eye/eye mounts) for straightforward installation. No modifications required.
• Durable construction – Signature yellow paint finish with protective blue bellows boot. Sold individually (two required for a complete front axle set).
• Limited lifetime warranty from Bilstein.

Fitment

Fits 1994–1997 Ford F-250 / F-350 4WD (stock height) with the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel, including most 8-lug heavy-duty configurations.
Notes: Does not fit 1997 light-duty F-250 models. Designed for stock suspension height only.

Restore the confident, controlled feel your OBS 7.3 deserves. The Bilstein 24-016179 is a proven upgrade that improves everyday drivability while standing up to the demands of a heavy-duty Powerstroke truck.
