Bilstein 24-029032 B6 4600 Series Rear Shock — Silverado/Sierra 1500

Bilstein 24-029032 B6 4600 Series Rear Shock Absorber — Chevrolet Silverado 1500 & GMC Sierra 1500

Direct-fit OE upgrade rear shock for 1999–2007 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 with coil spring suspension. 46mm monotube nitrogen gas design at stock height. Not for Quadrasteer-equipped models. Made in the USA.

Why Choose the Bilstein B6 4600 for Your Silverado or Sierra?

The Bilstein 24-029032 B6 4600 Series Rear Shock Absorber is a direct bolt-on upgrade over the factory rear shocks on the 1999–2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 with coil spring suspension. Whether you're hauling work gear, towing a trailer on the weekend, or just looking for sharper handling on your daily driver, the 4600 series delivers a significant and immediately noticeable improvement in ride quality, control, and traction — with no spring changes needed.

Bilstein's 46mm monotube design keeps damping fluid and high-pressure nitrogen gas separated by a floating piston, eliminating the fade and foaming that degrade standard twin-tube shocks over time and under load. Application-specific valving means this shock is tuned precisely for the Silverado/Sierra 1500 platform — not a generic "heavy duty" compromise — delivering the right balance of compliance and control for real-world truck use.

🔧 Direct OE Replacement

🏔️ 46mm Monotube Design

Fade-free performance under sustained loads with cooler, more consistent damping than twin-tube alternatives

⚡ Digressive Valving
