Bilstein B6 4600 Stock Ride Height Rear Shock | 2WD (1979-95 Pickup)

Bilstein Stock Ride Height B6 4600 Rear Shock

For 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup 2WD with Single Rear Wheels & 1984–1995 Toyota Pickup 2WD with Dual Rear Wheels

Overview

Bilstein B6 4600 rear shocks are a stock-ride-height performance upgrade for Toyota Pickup 2WD models. The gas-pressure monotube design and velocity-sensitive digressive piston provide consistent, application-tuned damping without changing ride height.

Select the rear-wheel configuration that matches the truck, then choose a single shock for one-side service or a pair to replace both rear shocks together. The Single Rear Wheel and Dual Rear Wheel applications use different fitment-specific shocks and are not interchangeable.

Key Features

• Direct-fit rear shock for the listed stock-height Toyota Pickup 2WD applications
• Separate fitment-specific choices for single- and dual-rear-wheel trucks
• Monotube gas-pressure construction for consistent, fade-resistant damping
• Velocity-sensitive digressive valving responds to changing road and load conditions
• Non-adjustable, vehicle-specific calibration with no external reservoir
• Eyelet upper and lower mounts match the stated factory applications
• Manufacturer limited lifetime warranty
