Designed for drivers who demand more from their truck's suspension — whether on paved roads, gravel trails, or light off-road terrain — the B6 4600 replaces your factory shock with a race-proven monotube design that delivers superior damping, improved body control, and a noticeably more confident ride. This is the ideal upgrade for stock-height Rangers carrying loads, towing, or simply seeking better driving dynamics than the OEM setup provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonotube Gas-Pressure Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Unlike twin-tube OEM shocks, the single-tube construction allows for a larger piston diameter, delivering more precise, consistent damping force even under demanding conditions or repeated heavy use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Adjusting Velocity-Sensitive Damping\u003c\/strong\u003e — Automatically adapts to road conditions and driving inputs in real time, providing a firm, controlled response during aggressive maneuvers and a compliant ride on everyday surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Heat Dissipation\u003c\/strong\u003e — The monotube design exposes the shock body directly to airflow, reducing heat buildup during extended or high-stress driving and maintaining performance longer than conventional twin-tube units.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM-Quality Direct Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e — Engineered to bolt directly onto the 2024+ Ford Ranger's factory mounting points with no modifications required, making installation straightforward for experienced DIYers and shops alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigressive Piston Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bilstein's proprietary piston design provides maximum comfort during small, everyday road imperfections while delivering firm, controlled damping when it matters most — under load or in corners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion-Resistant Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — The protective exterior coating helps the shock withstand road salt, moisture, and debris, extending service life in all climates and driving environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGerman Engineering \u0026amp; Precision Manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Built to Bilstein's stringent quality standards, the same technology trusted by OEM vehicle manufacturers and professional racing programs worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Bilstein B6 4600 Series Rear Shock Absorber (Single Unit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequired mounting hardware (as applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24-336246\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBilstein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB6 4600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShock Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMonotube, Gas-Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAdjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Adjustable (Velocity-Sensitive)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRide Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStock \/ OEM Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e651860967868\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebil24-336246\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold Individually (1 Shock)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Bilstein B6 4600 rear shock absorber is specifically designed for the following application:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2024+ Ford Ranger\u003c\/strong\u003e — All trims \u003cstrong\u003eexcluding the Raptor\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shock is engineered for \u003cstrong\u003estock ride height applications only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
