About this kit

N3 Front Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23180_A is a pair of N3 front shocks for the 1991-2004 GMC Sonoma 4WD. They are matched to trucks already running 2-3.5 in of suspension lift, so verify your current lift height before ordering. Sold and shipped as a pair. Carries a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

These N3 front shocks fit the 1991-2004 GMC Sonoma 4WD in Base, SL, SLE, and SLS trims, and only on trucks already set up with 2-3.5 in of suspension lift. The N3 damper uses 10-stage variable valving, a 35mm piston inside a 54mm body, and an 18mm chromed piston rod, with nitrogen charging to hold damping consistent as heat builds. Rubber bushings handle vibration at the mounts. Rough Country lists the job at 1-2 hours, making it a reasonable driveway swap with the truck safely supported. Shipping weight: 12.2 lb.
