About this kit

N3 Shock Pair, fitment-checked

An N3 shock pair for 1983-1997 Ford Ranger RWD models, sold two to a box (Rough Country 23182_F). These fit only trucks already running 3-4.5 in of suspension lift, so confirm your current lift height before ordering. Nitrogen-charged construction with 10-stage variable valving. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

This N3 shock pair for the 1983-1997 Ford Ranger RWD suits trucks set up with 3-4.5 in of suspension lift, and covers the Base, Custom, GT, S, STX, Splash, Sport, XL, XLS, and XLT submodels listed in the fitment section. The damping comes from 10-stage variable valving working with a 35mm piston, an 18mm chromed and hardened piston rod, and a 54mm body that sheds heat. High-pressure nitrogen charging limits fade on longer runs, and the fluid is rated to -40 degrees Celsius for cold-weather use. Rough Country lists installation at 1-2 hours.
