Bilstein Stock Ride Height B6 4600 Rear Shock (1984-95 4Runner)

Bilstein Stock Ride Height B6 4600 Rear Shock

For 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner

Overview

The Bilstein B6 4600 Rear Shock Absorber is a direct-fit suspension upgrade for stock or near-stock ride height 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner models.

Bilstein's gas-pressure monotube design and velocity-sensitive digressive valving provide controlled, non-adjustable damping for daily driving, highway use, towing, light off-road use, and restoration projects where factory-style suspension geometry and ride height are retained.

This listing combines two different rear shock applications covering the 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner range. Select the year range that matches your vehicle to receive the correct Bilstein rear shock.

• Bilstein Limited Lifetime Warranty for qualifying applications

Bilstein B6 4600 Design

The B6 4600 uses a gas-pressure monotube design with velocity-sensitive digressive valving that automatically responds to changes in suspension movement and road conditions.

This design provides consistent damping without external adjustment, making it well suited for Toyota 4Runner owners who want improved rear suspension control while retaining factory or near-factory ride height.

Vehicle Fitment

1984–1989 Toyota 4Runner

• 1st Generation

• Rear shock application

• Factory / stock ride height

• Select the 1984–1989 option

1990–1995 Toyota 4Runner

• 2nd Generation

• Rear shock application

• Factory / stock ride height

• Select the 1990–1995 option

The two year-range shock options are not interchangeable. Select the option that matches your Toyota 4Runner's model year and current suspension configuration.

Fitment Notes

• Designed for factory or near-factory ride height

• Rear shock application only

• Direct-fit installation using factory rear shock mounting locations

• Two shocks are required to replace both rear shocks

• Not designed as a dedicated suspension lift shock

• Modified vehicles should be checked for proper compressed and extended shock length before ordering

• Verify the currently installed suspension if the vehicle has undergone significant suspension modifications

• A body lift alone generally does not change shock travel because it does not alter suspension mounting geometry

For modified vehicles, verify:

• Suspension lift height

• Long-travel components

• Relocated shock mounts

• Modified bump-stop locations

• Altered suspension geometry

If the rear suspension has been changed from its original configuration, verify the required shock dimensions rather than relying exclusively on vehicle model year.

Bilstein B6 4600 vs. Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus

Bilstein B6 4600: Better suited for lighter, mostly stock-height daily-driven Toyota 4Runners where responsive handling, controlled damping, and on-road performance are the primary priorities.

Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus: Better suited for frequent off-road use, additional vehicle weight, towing, hauling, or 4Runners using other Old Man Emu suspension components.

Quick Recommendation: Choose Bilstein B6 4600 for a primarily stock-height daily-driven 4Runner. Choose Old Man Emu for heavier builds, frequent trail use, or a complete OME suspension setup.

We offer both Bilstein and Old Man Emu rear shock options.

Available Configurations

Single Shock

• (1) Bilstein B6 4600 Rear Shock Absorber

Pair of Shocks

• (2) Bilstein B6 4600 Rear Shock Absorbers

Two shocks are required to replace both rear shocks. Replacing worn shocks as a pair is recommended to maintain consistent damping across the rear suspension.
