Summary: Bilstein B6 4600 shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit upgrade to OE shock absorbers for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger RWD. Featuring a monotube design, these shocks provide consistent, fade-free performance and are tuned specifically for light trucks and SUVs. This set is configured for compatibility with 0-3″ front lift (specifically spindle lifts) and 0-1″ rear lift heights. The B6 4600 series utilizes a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston to offer a significant improvement in ride quality, handling, and comfort over factory equipment.

Features

  • Monotube Design: Single-tube construction provides consistent fade-free performance to ensure reliable damping under repeated impacts and extended use.
  • Digressive Piston: Velocity-sensitive, digressive piston design reacts to changing road conditions to ensure optimal performance and handling.
  • Application Specific Tuning: Custom valving for the Ford Ranger RWD provides improved ride quality and comfort to ensure the best possible driving experience.
