About this kit

N3 Front Shock Pair, fitment-checked

A pair of Rough Country N3 front shocks (23301_RC) for 4WD Chevrolet S10 trucks from 1983-2004 and S10 Blazer models from 1983-1994. These fit only trucks already running 4-6 inches of suspension lift, so confirm your current setup before ordering. Estimated install time is 1-2 hours.

This N3 front shock pair covers 4WD Chevrolet S10 trucks built 1983-2004 and S10 Blazer 4WD models built 1983-1994, across the submodels listed in the fitment section. It is a lifted-truck application only: your S10 needs 4-6 inches of existing suspension lift for these to work as intended. The N3 damper uses 10-stage variable valving, a 35mm piston in a 54mm body, and an 18mm chromed piston rod, with nitrogen charging to limit fade on long washboard runs. Plan on roughly 1-2 hours for the pair. Warranty: 3 Year Limited Warranty.
