The Bilstein B6 Long Travel Rear Shock Absorber pair is purpose-built for the Mazda BT-50 (2020-On) and uses Bilstein's monotube gas-charged damping to control ride quality across 0-3" of front lift. Long travel valving increases rear wheel articulation and rebound control, useful for touring on corrugations or towing near GVM. Fitted as a pair, they work alongside your existing rear leaf springs or an upgraded leaf spring setup to keep damping consistent under load. Bilstein backs the B6 range with a manufacturer warranty, and we dispatch from local Australian stock with fitment support from our team.

Rear spring rate should match your constant accessory load, not just occasional payload. Common additions that increase constant load include a steel or aluminium canopy, dual battery setup, long-range fuel or water tanks, drawer systems and a towbar with weight-distribution hitch. If you're running a heavier canopy or touring setup full-time, pair these shocks with a higher-rated leaf spring to keep ride height and damping in the correct working range.
Fitting is a bolt-in job for an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and hand tools, though most customers have these fitted by a workshop alongside other suspension work. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct camber and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the shock seals to settle before final assessment of ride quality. If you're running lifted height or heavier accessories, consider pairing this upgrade with control arm upgrades to correct front-end geometry.
Bilstein has built monotube shock technology in Germany since the 1950s and supplies OE damping to several 4WD and ute manufacturers. The B6 Long Travel range for BT-50 is developed and warranted by Bilstein specifically for lifted and touring applications, not a generic aftermarket replacement. Tradespeople and tourers running BT-50s choose Bilstein for the manufacturer warranty and consistent damping under repeated load cycles — view the full Bilstein range for matching front shocks and springs.
This shock pair suits BT-50 owners running a 0-3" front lift who tow regularly, carry canopy and tool storage weight, or drive long distances on unsealed roads. It's a direct fit for tradies with a fitted-out tray and tourers running camper trailers or caravans. If you're carrying variable loads such as water tanks or generators, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear ride height on the go.

These Bilstein B6 Long Travel rear shocks are built specifically for the Mazda BT-50 TF Series, 2020-On, covering both the 1.9L and 3.0L turbo-diesel variants. They use OE-style upper and lower mounting points for a direct bolt-in fit. If you're running a different BT-50 series or a UP/UR model built before 2020, check our parts finder for the BT-50 or contact our team to confirm fitment.
This is a rear shock absorber pair, not a lift kit, so it doesn't add height on its own. It's designed to work correctly with 0-3" of front lift already fitted, matching rear damping to the raised front end. If you need to add lift, pair these shocks with raised coil springs or leaf springs sized to your target height.
You receive 2 x Bilstein B6 Long Travel rear shock absorbers with mounting bushes pre-fitted and the hardware needed for bolt-in installation. Rear leaf springs and front shock absorbers are sold separately. Full component details are listed in the kit contents section above.
Yes, the long travel valving and monotube gas-charged design are specifically suited to towing near GVM, reducing rear-end sway and shock fade on longer descents. For best results, match these shocks to a rear leaf spring rated for your constant towing accessory load. Talk to our team about spring rate selection if you're towing a caravan or camper trailer regularly.
Rear shocks alone don't require a control arm change. If you're also running a front lift over 2", upgraded control arms help correct front-end geometry and CV angles at the increased height. For a rear shock-only install with an existing front lift, control arms aren't mandatory but are worth reviewing during your alignment.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting any suspension component that changes ride height or damping characteristics. Book an alignment straight after installation to correct camber and toe, and again after the 500km break-in period once the shocks have settled. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear.
These shocks are supplied on their own, so you select your rear leaf spring rate separately based on your constant accessory load. Heavier canopies, dual batteries, water tanks and towbars all increase the load your rear springs need to carry. Browse our leaf spring range or contact our team to match a spring rate to your BT-50 setup.
This shock pair is designed for BT-50s already sitting at 0-3" of front lift, which is the height range where most owners fit 32-33 inch tyres without rubbing. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, width and your specific lift height, so check clearance against your wheel and tyre combination. Our team can advise on tyre sizing for your exact setup.
These shocks carry Bilstein's manufacturer warranty, with warranty documentation included in the box. We back this up with fitment support from our Australian-based team if you have any installation or compatibility questions. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty claims.
Yes, the digressive piston valving in the B6 Long Travel shocks is tuned to give a firmer response at low shock speeds and a softer response over sharp hits, which suits daily commuting as well as touring. Many BT-50 owners run this shock pair as their everyday setup while still getting improved control when loaded or towing. It doesn't compromise on-road comfort to achieve its off-road performance.
