N3 Rear Shock Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 23296_A is a pair of N3 rear shocks for the 1997-2003 Ford F-150 4WD. They fit only trucks already running 2.5 to 6.5 inches of suspension lift, so confirm your current lift height before ordering. Sold and shipped as a pair, with a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

These N3 rear shocks for the 1997-2003 Ford F-150 4WD suit lifted trucks only. The fitment window is 2.5 to 6.5 inches of suspension lift, covering Base, XL, XLT, Lariat, and King Ranch 4WD trims. The N3 design uses 10-stage variable valving with nitrogen charging to hold damping consistent as heat builds, a 35mm piston inside a 54mm body, and an 18mm chromed piston rod with a spring-loaded seal. Fluid is rated to -40 degrees Celsius. Rubber bushings damp vibration at the mounts. Rough Country lists roughly 1-2 hours for the swap.
