About this kit

N3 Front Shocks, fitment-checked

A pair of Rough Country N3 front shocks for the 1982-1985 Ford F-350 in 4WD or RWD form. These fit only trucks already running 6.5-8 in of suspension lift, so confirm your current lift height before ordering. Ships as one N3 shock pair and carries a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

These N3 front shocks for the 1982-1985 Ford F-350 4WD and RWD cover Base, Custom, XL, XLS, XLT, and XLT Lariat trucks, but only those equipped with 6.5-8 in of suspension lift. The N3 design uses 10-stage variable valving, a nitrogen charge, a 35mm piston in a 54mm body, and an 18mm chromed piston rod, with military-spec fluid rated to -40 degrees Celsius. Rough Country lists installation at 1-2 hours. Check your lift height and mounting hardware first, since the pair replaces both front shocks. Shipping weight: 13.2 lb.
