Bilstein SS4 Series Shock Absorber - Chrome

 

The Bilstein SS4 Series Shock Absorber is designed for customers building custom street rods that need unique lengths and valve settings for the proper chassis setup. Its chrome finish gives the shock a polished appearance that fits exposed suspension and show-quality builds. The smooth body design keeps the shock visually clean while supporting a compact custom suspension package.

A 36mm piston and monotube internal design give the SS4 Series a performance-focused foundation for specialty vehicles. The shock is intended for custom street rod applications rather than direct-fit replacement work. That makes it useful when the vehicle has non-standard mounting points, ride height, or chassis geometry.

The grouped options include long and short street rod versions, allowing customers to match the shock to the available suspension travel. Eye 15.9mm lower mounts and eye 11.2mm upper mounts help define the mounting package. The chrome finish adds a visual benefit for customers who care about both ride control and appearance.

Street rods often demand a balance between stance, comfort, and packaging. The SS4 Series supports that balance by giving builders specific lengths and a clean shock body. Customers can choose a shorter or longer version based on how the chassis sits and how much travel is available.

Correct selection starts with measuring the vehicle at ride height, full compression, and full droop. Because street rod suspension layouts can vary widely, matching collapsed length, extended length, and mount style is essential. When selected properly, the SS4 Series helps finish the suspension with a clean look and controlled feel. The chrome body also suits builds where the suspension is part of the finished look rather than hidden behind stock sheetmetal. For specialty street rods, that combination of polished appearance, known length choices, and eye-mount packaging helps customers complete a clean chassis with fewer unknowns.

Whether customers are upgrading for custom street rod stance, polished suspension appearance, or specialty chassis control, the SS4 Series Shock Absorber delivers chrome Bilstein performance. Now Available at LEER!
