About this kit

N3 Front Shock Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23209_B is a pair of N3 front shocks for 1987–1996 Ford F-250 4WD and 1986–1997 Ford F-350 4WD trucks. These fit only trucks already running 5–7.5 in of suspension lift, so confirm your current lift height before ordering. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

This N3 front shock pair for the 1987–1996 Ford F-250 4WD and 1986–1997 Ford F-350 4WD suits trucks set up with 5–7.5 in of suspension lift — stock-height and smaller-lift trucks need a different valving range. Each shock uses 10-stage variable valving, a 35mm piston in a 54mm body, and a chromed 18mm piston rod, with nitrogen charging to limit fade on longer runs. Rough Country lists the job at 1-2 hours, which lines up with a front-axle shock swap in the driveway. Supported trims run from Custom and XL through XLT Lariat and Eddie Bauer.
