Rough Country's N3 rear shocks bring a significant step up in damping performance for 2019-2026 Ranger 4WD trucks. Whether the route involves smooth highway miles or rough backcountry trails, these shocks adjust to the terrain through 10-stage variable valving that delivers both composed highway cruising and confident off-road control. Available for stock-height to 1-inch lift applications or 6.5-8-inch lift setups, they slot directly into the factory mounting points for a clean, bolt-on install in 1-2 hours.
Variable valving for real-world versatility. Ten-stage variable valving gives the N3 a damping range that covers everything from long highway stretches to rutted trails. The 35mm high-performance piston moves through military-spec fluid rated to -40 degrees Celsius, so cold-weather performance stays consistent even in extreme conditions.
Built-in heat management keeps performance from fading. A 54mm shock body dissipates heat faster than smaller-diameter designs, preventing the shock fade that comes from sustained high-intensity off-road use. Paired with a high-pressure nitrogen charge, the N3 stays consistent lap after lap or trail after trail.
Construction details that add up to long service life. An 18mm chromed and hardened piston rod resists corrosion from mud, water, and road salt. A spring-loaded piston rod seal keeps fluid in and contaminants out. The body and structural components carry a rated tensile strength of 36kN to handle heavy impacts and repeated hard landings. Natural rubber bushings absorb vibration and cut road noise, and the metallic silver powder finish adds a final layer of corrosion resistance.
