About this kit

N3 Rear Shock Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23148_F is a pair of N3 rear shocks for 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD. They fit only trucks running 0-2 in of suspension lift, and the shocks ship as a pair rather than singly. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

These N3 rear shocks for the 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD suit Base, XL, XLT, Lariat, and King Ranch trucks running 0-2 in of suspension lift — outside that range, look at a different valving option. The N3 design 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 runs. Military-spec fluid is rated down to -40 degrees Celsius, and rubber bushings damp vibration at the mounts. Rough Country lists install time at 1-2 hours for the pair.
