About this kit

N3 Front Shock Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23271_A is a pair of N3 front shocks for the Jeep CJ5 (1959-1975) and CJ5A (1966-1968). They fit only vehicles already running 5.5-6 inches of suspension lift, so confirm your current lift height before ordering. Sold as a set of two and covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

This N3 front shock pair for the Jeep CJ5 4WD (1959-1975) and CJ5A (1966-1968) is a lift-specific replacement: it works only on rigs set up with 5.5-6 inches of suspension lift. Each shock uses 10-stage variable valving, a 35mm piston in a 54mm body, and an 18mm chromed rod, with nitrogen charging to limit fade on longer trail sections. Military-spec fluid is rated to -40 degrees Celsius, and rubber bushings damp vibration at the mounts. Rough Country lists an install time of 1-2 hours for the pair.
