N3 Rear Shocks

The Rough Country N3 Rear Shocks deliver premium monotube performance engineered for Ram fullsize trucks from 2010–2013. Built to handle the demands of lifted suspension systems, these shocks feature a 2.12-inch outer diameter and steel construction with metallic silver paint finish. The pair compresses to 16.61 inches and extends to 28.03 inches, providing controlled travel across 0–3 inches of lift applications. N3 shocks are designed to improve ride quality and damping consistency on vehicles that have been modified beyond factory specifications.

Monotube shock design is the core of the N3's performance advantage. Unlike twin-tube alternatives, monotube construction houses the piston and rod in a single tube, reducing internal friction and improving heat dissipation during sustained off-road use. The compressed and extended travel measurements—16.61 and 28.03 inches respectively—define the working range of the suspension, which directly impacts how the truck responds to terrain changes and load conditions. The 2.12-inch OD specification ensures compatibility with factory mounting points while maintaining durability under higher spring rates typical of lifted setups. These shocks weigh 7.2 pounds each and are sold as a matched pair for rear axle installation.

Ram truck owners planning suspension upgrades—whether adding 2–3 inches of lift, upgrading to heavier springs, or improving ride control after previous modifications—rely on quality rear shocks to maintain vehicle stability and handling. The N3 package addresses the specific geometry and mounting requirements of 2010–2013 Ram fullsize platforms, making it a direct fit without fabrication or adapter work. Off-road enthusiasts, truck builders, and owners seeking to replace worn OEM shocks with performance alternatives find these shocks compatible with common lift kits and suspension packages in that generation.

Rough Country is a recognized manufacturer in the truck suspension market, known for balancing affordability with functional performance across lifted truck applications. The N3 line occupies the mid-range of their shock offerings, positioning these units as an upgrade path from basic OEM replacement while remaining cost-effective compared to premium racing-grade alternatives. For 2010–2013 Ram fullsize truck owners, the N3 Rear Shocks represent a verified fitment solution backed by measurable specifications and real-world compatibility with the chassis and suspension architecture of that generation.
