Direct-fit OE upgrade rear shock for 2002–2008 Dodge Ram 1500 at stock height. Fits 2WD and 4WD. Excludes Mega Cab. 46mm monotube nitrogen gas design. 14.4mm eyelet upper and lower mounts. Made in the USA.
The Bilstein 24-025508 B6 4600 Series Rear Shock Absorber is the direct-fit rear upgrade for the third-generation Dodge Ram 1500 — covering the full 2002 through 2008 model year run in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. These trucks are legendary for their capability and durability, and many are still working hard well beyond 150,000 miles. At those mileages, worn rear shocks mean rear-end bounce, reduced traction on rough roads, tire wear, and a general feeling that the truck has lost the confident composure it once had.
The 4600 series, precisely application-tuned for the Ram 1500 rear suspension, restores and improves all of that — better rear axle control, more settled highway composure, improved traction, and the kind of stability that makes a Ram 1500 feel capable rather than sloppy. It's the most cost-effective upgrade to bring the rear suspension back to life.
14.4mm eyelet upper and lower mounts — bolt-on rear replacement at stock height using OEM hardware
Fade-free rear damping under truck loads — consistent performance whether empty or loaded for a tow
Fits both two-wheel and four-wheel drive Ram 1500 configurations across the full 2002–2008 production run
Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA. Backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty
