About this kit

N3 Front Shock Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23227_A is a pair of N3 front shocks for RWD Dodge Ram 1500 (2009-2010), Ram 1500 (2011-2018), and Ram 1500 Classic (2019-2024) trucks. They are intended only for trucks running between 0 and 2 inches of suspension lift, and they ship as a two-shock set. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

These N3 front shocks fit RWD Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic trucks from 2009 through 2024, across the trim list shown in the fitment section, including Big Horn, Laramie, Tradesman, Rebel, and Warlock applications. Check your lift first: the pair is matched to trucks with 0 to 2 inches of suspension lift and nothing taller. Damping comes from a 10-stage variable valving design with a 35mm piston and 54mm body, riding on an 18mm chromed rod with rubber bushings at the mounts. Rough Country lists installation at 1-2 hours for the pair.
