Bilstein's 24-317863 is a B6 4600 front shock absorber for 2009-2013 Ford F-150. It uses Bilstein's monotube construction, which keeps the gas and oil separated so damping stays consistent under sustained use.
Bilstein B6 4600 shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit upgrade to OE shock absorbers on stock height light trucks and SUVs. These shock absorbers feature a monotube design which provides consistent fade free performance. B6 4600 shock absorbers utilize a unique, velocity sensitive, digressive piston which reacts to changing road conditions. All B6 4600 shock absorbers are tuned for each specific application to ensure optimal performance is achieved. B6 4600 shock absorbers offer a significant improvement in ride quality, handling, and comfort.
