Direct-fit OE upgrade front shock for 1999–2007 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Avalanche, and Cadillac Escalade at stock height. 4WD / torsion bar front only — not for 2WD coil spring or electronic suspension. Made in the USA.
The Bilstein 24-065009 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber covers the entire GMT800 1500-series platform — from the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Tahoe to the GMC Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL, the Avalanche 1500, Suburban 1500, and even the first-generation Cadillac Escalade. This single part number serves every 4WD torsion bar-equipped 1500-class GMT800 truck and SUV that wears a GM badge — an enormous range of the most popular trucks and SUVs of their era.
Precisely valved for the torsion bar front suspension on these platforms, the 4600 series restores and improves the front-end control, steering precision, and composed highway ride that defines how these trucks drive at their best. For high-mileage GMT800 owners, it's the single most cost-effective upgrade to bring the front suspension back to life.
For 4WD/torsion bar front suspension only — will not work with 2WD coil spring applications on the GMT800 platform
Fade-free front damping under truck and SUV loads — consistent, controlled performance on highway and off-road
One part covers Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Avalanche, and Cadillac Escalade across 9 years
