Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shocks compatible with my stock height F-150?
Yes, the Bilstein B6 4600 is designed specifically as a direct fit upgrade for stock height light trucks and SUVs.

Do I need to purchase additional parts for installation?
These shocks require the use of your original equipment (OE) spring seats, as Bilstein does not include new spring seats with this part number.

What is the benefit of the Monotube design?
The monotube design allows for more efficient heat dissipation and consistent damping, which prevents the “fade” often experienced with standard twin-tube shocks during extended use.

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these are designed for stock height vehicles and do not create lift; they are intended to improve ride quality and handling at the factory height.
