About this kit
N3 Front Shock Pair, fitment-checked
Rough Country 23196_A is an N3 front shock pair for 1988-1999 Chevrolet and GMC 4WD trucks and SUVs, including K1500, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, and Blazer applications. These shocks fit only vehicles already running 2.5-3.5 in of suspension lift, and they are sold as a set of two. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.
This N3 front shock pair suits 1988-1999 Chevrolet and GMC 4WD applications, from K1500 pickups and K1500 Suburban through Tahoe, Yukon, and 1992-1994 Blazer models listed in the fitment section. Check your ride height first: the valving is matched to vehicles carrying 2.5-3.5 in of suspension lift, so a stock-height truck is the wrong application. Each shock uses 10-stage variable valving, a 35mm piston in a 54mm body, and an 18mm chromed piston rod, with nitrogen charging to limit fade on longer trail sections. Plan on 1-2 hours for the swap.
