What makes the monotube design better than a twin-tube shock?

The monotube design separates the oil and gas within the shock absorber. This helps prevent the shock from overheating and losing its damping ability, known as fade, especially during heavy use or on rough roads.

Do I need to buy any extra hardware to install this shock?

No, this Bilstein shock absorber is designed to use your vehicle's original springs and mounting hardware. It's intended as a direct replacement for your factory shocks.

How does the digressive piston improve the ride?

The digressive piston is sensitive to the speed at which the shock shaft moves. It adjusts the damping force accordingly, providing a more controlled and comfortable ride by reacting effectively to both small bumps and larger impacts.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Bilstein 4600 Series front shock absorber, part number 33-248097. It's built as a direct replacement for stock-height light trucks and SUVs, offering an improved ride and better handling. This shock is designed to work with your vehicle's original springs and mounting hardware, making installation straightforward. It fits a wide range of Dodge and Plymouth models from the mid-70s through the early 90s, including popular trucks like the Dodge W250 and W350, as well as the Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster.

Inside, you'll find a 46mm monotube design. This construction helps prevent the shock from fading, even under tough conditions, by keeping the oil and gas separated. Bilstein tunes each shock specifically for the vehicle application it's intended for, ensuring it works well with the stock suspension setup. The digressive piston inside is sensitive to how fast the shock shaft moves, allowing it to adjust its damping force to match changing road conditions, which contributes to a more comfortable and controlled ride.
