About this kit

N3 Front Shocks, fitment-checked

A pair of Rough Country N3 front shocks (23211_A) for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger in 4WD and RWD. These are lift-specific: they fit only Rangers already running 4.5-5.5 inches of suspension lift, so confirm your current lift height before ordering. Feed-listed install time is 1-2 hours. Carries a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

These N3 front shocks fit the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger 4WD and RWD across the XL, XLT, STX, Sport, Splash, Edge, FX4, Tremor, EV, and Postal submodels listed in the fitment section, but only on trucks equipped with 4.5-5.5 inches of suspension lift. The N3 design uses 10-stage variable valving, a nitrogen charge, a 35mm piston, and an 18mm chromed piston rod in a 54mm body, with military-spec fluid rated to -40 degrees Celsius. The kit ships as one N3 shock pair, and the feed lists a 1-2 hour install.
