Bilstein 4600 Front & Rear Shock Kit | 2015-2020 Ford F-150 2WD/4WD | Stock Height
Good to know before you buy
Fits
- 2015-2020 Ford F-150 2WD and 4WD at factory ride height
Does not fit: Raptor, Limited with adaptive dampers, trucks with a leveling kit or lift (use a 5100 kit)
How this kit works
Direct replacement for worn factory shocks with no change in ride height. The 4600 front strut takes your factory coil spring and upper mount, so the front is a strut swap on a spring compressor; the rears bolt in. Bilstein tunes the 4600 for the F-150 specifically, so the truck rides like it did new but with monotube control that does not fade on rough roads or under a load.
- You reuse: factory coil springs, upper strut mounts, isolators and mounting bolts
- You replace: both front strut and damper assemblies, both rear shocks
- You need: a spring compressor (or a shop) for the fronts, and an alignment after install
Why this kit
If the truck floats, nose-dives under braking or wallows with a load and you do not want to change the stance, this is the fix. The 4600 is the OE-height Bilstein: a 46mm monotube with digressive valving that firms up the ride without making it harsh, at a lower price than the adjustable 5100. Four correct part numbers in one order, with a limited lifetime warranty.

Questions
Will this level my truck?
No. The 4600 keeps factory ride height. If you want to level the front, use the 5100 leveling kit.
Do I need a spring compressor?
Yes. The factory coil transfers to the new front strut. Plan on 1.5 hours per side for the fronts, 20 minutes per side for the rears, and an alignment afterward.
4600 or 5100?
4600 if you want the factory stance with better control. 5100 if you want the option to level the front now or later; it costs a little more and is adjustable.
What is the warranty?
Limited lifetime warranty on all four dampers through Bilstein North America, processed through the original place of purchase. Keep your Hannah Suspension order confirmation.
