Product Details

The B6 4600 line is Bilstein’s application-specific shock absorber series for light trucks and SUVs that remain at factory ride height. For the Ram 2500, part number 24-285650 is engineered as a rear suspension shock absorber that uses Bilstein’s monotube architecture and digressive piston valving to respond quickly to road inputs while maintaining stable control. This makes it a practical choice for drivers looking to restore or refine rear suspension performance on a 2014-2018 Ram 2500.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
