A pair of N3 front shocks for the 1987-1996 Ford F-250 4WD and 1986-1997 Ford F-350 4WD, sold as a set of two. These fit only trucks already running 1.5-3.5 inches of suspension lift, so measure your setup before ordering. Rough Country lists the job at 1-2 hours and covers this part under a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

These N3 front shocks are built for lifted 1987-1996 Ford F-250 4WD and 1986-1997 Ford F-350 4WD trucks running 1.5-3.5 inches of suspension lift — stock-height trucks are outside the listed application.
