About this kit

N3 Rear Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23186_A is a pair of N3 rear shocks for the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota and the 2011 Ram Dakota in 4WD or RWD. They are valved for trucks running 0-2 in of suspension lift only, so confirm your current lift height before ordering. Sold as a pair, with 10-stage variable valving and nitrogen charging.

This N3 rear shock pair covers the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota and the 2011 Ram Dakota in both 4WD and RWD, across the submodels listed in the fitment section. Fitment is limited to trucks with 0-2 in of suspension lift. The N3 design uses a 35mm piston in a 54mm body with an 18mm chromed rod and 10-stage variable valving, plus military-spec fluid rated to -40 degrees Celsius for cold-weather use. Rough Country lists installation at 1-2 hours. Shipping weight: 11.9 lb. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.
