About this kit

N3 Front Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23278_A is an N3 front shock pair for 1988-1999 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 RWD trucks, along with the 1992-1999 C1500 Suburban and GMC Yukon and the 1995-1999 Tahoe. It suits vehicles running 0-2 in of suspension lift only, and ships as a pair rather than a single unit.

These N3 front shocks for 1988-1999 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 RWD pickups also cover the 1992-1999 C1500 Suburban and GMC Yukon plus the 1995-1999 Tahoe in rear-wheel-drive form. They are matched to trucks carrying 0-2 in of suspension lift, so confirm what your truck is sitting on before ordering. Damping comes from 10-stage variable valving in a 54mm body, working with a 35mm piston and an 18mm chromed piston rod, high-pressure nitrogen charge, and rubber bushings. Rough Country lists the job at 1-2 hours. Sold as a pair. Shipping weight: 11 lb. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.
