Construction & Design
The Bilstein B6 4600 shocks feature a robust monotube construction that enhances durability and performance. The monotube design allows for better heat dissipation compared to twin-tube shocks, reducing fade during extended or aggressive driving. The internal digressive piston is velocity sensitive, meaning it adjusts damping force based on the speed of suspension movement, providing a smooth ride over small bumps while firming up during rapid suspension travel to maintain control.
Each shock is precisely tuned for the Ram 3500’s rear suspension geometry and load characteristics, ensuring a balanced combination of comfort and handling. The smooth body finish and yellow powder coating protect against corrosion and wear, extending the service life of the shocks even in harsh environments.
Installation & Fitment
Installation of the Bilstein B6 4600 Rear Shocks is straightforward, as they are designed to be a direct replacement for the factory rear shocks on 2011–2018 Ram 3500 models without air leveling suspension. No special tools or modifications are required, making it an ideal upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike. It is recommended to replace both rear shocks simultaneously to maintain balanced suspension performance.
