N3 Premium Shock Absorbers by Rough Country

Building off the success of Rough Country’s fan-favorite N2.0 and critically acclaimed Performance 2.2 shocks, comes the latest evolution in shock absorber technology with Rough Country’s premium N3 Shocks; our most durable shock to date!

These 10-stage variable valving, high-pressure, Nitrogen charged shocks offer a fantastic blend of off-road action and smooth highway ride quality. With a 35mm piston, 18mm chrome-hardened piston rod, and faster-cooling, large-diameter 54mm shock body, Rough Country’s N3 shocks simply dwarf your factory equipment.

Rough Country’s N3 shocks offer incredible performance under any condition, with a military spec fluid rated for -40 degrees Celsius and a more durable seal for a seriously long lifespan. Each shock also features rubber bushings for impressive vibration dampening and an eye-catching metallic silver paint. Includes a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Had these shocks on a lifted F-150 over a 2 year period. Over that period I ran probably 35 trails all over Colorado and moab. Excellent shock for the money no leaks but the ride got a bit harsh on the pavement on bumps and potholes. I just got another pair and will we hit the trails next month. Outstanding shock and value !!

These are very underrated shocks, they noticeably increase ride quality on road and it’s an affordable way to get lifted, but if you wanna get more serious into off roading, these will do it for light trails and obstacles but lean more towards bilstein 51 or 61 but a seriously great option if you’re getting into off roading or looking to lift

These shocks are amazing I got some on my 96 Ford ranger and gosh dang their go over any speed bump like it was nothing

Got them on the back of my 2017 Silverado 1500, can't beat em for the price!

I had the N2.0 on my Jeep for about 2 years. They did very well off-road and I was fine with the highway ride. However, I did over articulate in Pennsylvania at a trip to Rausch Creek and popped the driver side front shock. Noticed some hydraulic oil flowing from the boot. Rough country made good on the shock and in fact provided me with both front free of charge and then offered an upgrade to the N3 by just paying the cost difference from the 2.0. I am very happy with the N3 shocks dampening qualities on the highway and off-road they can take a beating. I have been rock crawling with them also. Was very happy with the customer service and will be rough country 4 Life.

Great shocks have them on my duramax!!

Mine started leaking oil after 5 months after install. Haven't even taken the truck off road yet.

Idk if I just got a bad batch or if I worn out my N3 that quickly from all the hard off-roading I did in my FJ. But my N3 only lasted me little under a year probably about 9-1/2 months and they went out. So Im giving the RC- V2 shocks a try hopefully they perform and last a lot longer than the N3.

So they are not adjustable? You know to change for a more tight or more loose ride for different purposes?

I just received N3 Rough Country shocks for the rear should the canister be on the bottom with the shaft pointing up or the other way shaft pointing down?

2000 F250 6 inch lift. N3 shocks. Install with shock body up or down? Why did only one rubber bushing come with a metal ring inside of it? Thank you.

I have ordered a 7" RC life kit for my 2020 2500HD Silverado with the N3 RC shocks and will be running 37/12.5 Ridge Grapplers. On a scale from 1-10 how will the ride quality be on the highway driving?

[toddj.]

How are the N3 coilovers specificlly the 3 inch bolt on lift kit with N3 coil overs how are the CV angles i have a 2014 F150 i just ordered this kit have not put it on yet but im wondering how my CV angles will be with this can Ruff Country answer or better anyone with this kit

[cattracker]

Linear or digressive shock? Says high pressure in video, what is psi? Thanks

[westmeridian]

I had the 4" kit 66130 installed on my TJ. The rear shocks say Made in Mexico. I thought RC products were made in Tennessee?

[JohnDoe-bkci]

Rough country? Can you please answer my questions below?

[rygi]

Hello RC. I have a ‘10 Jeep JK that has your 3.25” lift. I’m happy with your product but the older model shocks are done and I need to upgrade to your N3 shocks. Only problem is for the rear shocks all I’m seeing on your site is for lifts up to 3” and 3.5-5”. I’m stumped. Hope you have time to clarify for me. Thanks a lot.

[AN-plke]

Hey Rough Country, my kit came with N3 shocks and they have a grease residue on the rubber bushings out of box. Is this normal ?

[YungDiddy]

Does these shock last longer before they start to rust like the n2 or do they hold up longer
