About this kit

N3 Rear Shock Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23271_E is a pair of N3 rear shocks for the 1986-1994 Nissan D21 and 1997 Nissan Pickup in 4WD and RWD. These fit only trucks already running 3.5-4 in of suspension lift, so confirm your current setup before ordering. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

This N3 rear shock pair covers the 1986-1994 Nissan D21 and the 1997 Nissan Pickup in both 4WD and RWD, across Base, E, SE, and XE submodels. It is a lift-specific application: the shocks are valved and sized for trucks carrying 3.5-4 in of suspension lift, not stock-height rear ends. The N3 design uses 10-stage variable valving, a nitrogen charge to hold damping under repeated hits, a 35mm piston in a 54mm body, and an 18mm chromed rod. Plan on 1-2 hours for the swap. Shipping weight: 11.6 lb.
