Fitment Note: This listing covers the front shock (24-265966) and rear shock (24-265973) for the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma on 6 lug wheels, at stock ride height, without Nivomat self-leveling suspension.

- Bilstein B8 5100 Shocks for Toyota Tacoma RWD / 4WD (2016-2023), Front Lift and Rear Leveling Kit If you plan to lift your Tacoma rather than keep it at stock height, the B8 5100 is the right call instead of this B6 4600. The 5100 is ride-height adjustable and valved specifically for lifted applications, while the 4600 is tuned for the factory suspension geometry at stock height.
OEM Part Numbers Cross Reference
- 48510-04241 (OEM Front Shock Absorber, 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD TRD Off-Road)
- 48510-04260 (OEM Front Shock Absorber, 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma standard suspension)
- 48530-09830 (OEM Rear Shock Absorber, 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD)
The OEM part numbers above are provided as reference for what the Bilstein B6 4600 units replace on the 2016-2023 Tacoma. Toyota's OEM shock part numbers can vary by trim, drivetrain, and production date. Confirm your specific factory shock numbers using your VIN at a Toyota dealer or via Toyota's parts reference system if you need to verify before ordering.
Product Description
The B6 4600 is the stock-height answer. If your Tacoma is riding at factory height and you want a meaningful upgrade over the original shocks without adding any lift, this is the correct Bilstein for that job. It's the same monotube platform Bilstein supplies to Toyota as OEM equipment on TRD Pro models, which is why you'll see that familiar yellow body and blue boot when you open the box. If you want to lift the truck at the same time, grab the B8 5100 instead since it's adjustable and valved for the geometry changes that come with a lift. Running the 4600 on a lifted Tacoma means the shock travel is not optimized for the new ride height, and you'll notice it.
Bilstein B6 4600 shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit upgrade to OE shock absorbers on stock height light trucks and SUV’s. These shock absorbers feature a monotube design which provides consistent fade free performance. B6 4600 shock absorbers utilize a unique, velocity sensitive, digressive piston which reacts to changing road conditions. All B6 4600 shock absorbers are tuned for each specific application to ensure optimal performance is achieved. B6 4600 shock absorbers offer a significant improvement in ride quality, handling, and comfort.
