Product Details
Bilstein B6 4600 shock absorbers are built for stock-height trucks and SUVs that need firmer control without changing ride height. This rear shock for the Ram 2500 uses a monotube construction and a digressive piston profile to deliver stable damping response across rough pavement, towing loads, and everyday driving. The B6 4600 line is tuned by application, and part number 24-302081 is matched to the rear suspension of the 2019-2025 Ram 2500 without rear air leveling suspension. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 68443198AB, 68443199AB) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear-end bounce after bumps
- Loose or unsettled handling on uneven roads
- Reduced control during towing or hauling
- Worn OE shock performance on a stock-height Ram 2500
- Inconsistent damping from aging rear suspension components
Installation Notes
