Bilstein 24-060813 B6 4600 Series Front Shock — Chevrolet Silverado/Sierra 2500, 3500 HD

Bilstein 24-060813 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber — Chevrolet & GMC Heavy-Duty Trucks & SUVs

Direct-fit OE upgrade front shock for Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500, Avalanche 2500, Suburban 2500, and Yukon XL 2500 at stock height. Independent front suspension. Hardware included. Not for Quadrasteer or ZX3. Made in the USA.

Why Choose the Bilstein B6 4600 Front Shock for Your Heavy-Duty GM Truck?

The Bilstein 24-060813 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber is engineered as a direct-fit OE upgrade for the GMT800 heavy-duty truck and SUV platform — covering Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 series trucks, the Avalanche 2500, Suburban 2500, and Yukon XL 2500. These are trucks and SUVs built to haul heavy loads, pull serious weight, and cover high mileage, and the 4600 series front shock is precisely tuned to match that mission.

With independent front suspension and the demands of 2500/3500-class loads, worn front shocks on these platforms show up as reduced steering precision, front-end wander under load, and diminished confidence during lane changes and evasive maneuvers. The 46mm monotube design restores and improves all of that — delivering better front-end control on the highway, improved stability under tow, and a more planted, responsive feel on any road surface.

🔧 Hardware Included

Mounting hardware is included with this shock — unlike many other 4600 series applications

🏔️ 46mm Monotube Design

Fade-free front damping under sustained 2500/3500-class loads — consistent performance mile after mile

💪 HD Towing & Load Optimized

Application-tuned for heavy-duty truck use — improved front stability under tow and with heavy payloads

🇺🇸 Made in the USA

Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA. Backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty

Key Features & Benefits

  • Direct-Fit OE Upgrade: Bolt-on front shock replacement for stock-height GMT800 heavy-duty trucks and SUVs with independent front suspension
  • Hardware Included: Mounting hardware is included with this shock — a notable difference from most other Bilstein 4600 series applications
  • Improved Ride Quality, Handling & Traction: Significant upgrade over worn factory front shocks for steering response, front-end stability, and control under load
