About this part
N3 Loaded Strut Pair, fitment-checked
Rough Country 501169 is a pair of N3 loaded struts for 2009–2010 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD and 2011 Ram 1500 4WD trucks running factory ride height. Each unit arrives with the coil already assembled, so no spring compressor is needed. These are not intended for use alongside a leveling or lift spacer — a strut matched to your lift height is the correct choice for a raised truck.
This N3 loaded strut pair covers 2009–2010 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD and 2011 Ram 1500 4WD models, including Laramie, SLT, ST, Sport, TRX4, Big Horn, Laramie Longhorn, Outdoorsman, and Tradesman trims listed in the fitment section. Damping comes from a nitrogen-charged body with an oversized 1 3/8in bore and velocity-sensitive valving tuned to this application, with a chromed rod and silver powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. Rough Country lists installation at 1-2 hours, and a downloadable installation guide is available. If your truck already carries a spacer, order the strut built for that lift height instead.
