About this kit

N3 Front Shock Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23238_C is a pair of N3 front shocks for the 1997-2003 Ford F-150 RWD. They are valved for trucks already running 3-4.5 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 1997-2003 Ford F-150 RWD suits lifted trucks only — the damping is matched to 3-4.5 in of suspension lift, and it covers Base, XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Harley-Davidson Edition, and Lightning applications shown in the fitment list. Each shock uses 10-stage variable valving in a 54mm body with a 35mm piston and a chromed 18mm rod, nitrogen charge to limit fade, and fluid rated to -40 degrees Celsius. Rubber bushings are supplied on the shock. Rough Country lists installation at 1-2 hours.
