If your hesitating to buy a set of N3’s don’t! I have these on a JK Wrangler and a Ram 2500 and both ride and handle better than the originals with the Jeep being MUCH better. Great quality, Great customer service from Rough Country, you can’t go wrong. Thanks Amazon, Thanks Rough Country.

Fit my Jeep JK old shocks were blown out these bolted right up and are perfect replacements for a lifted jeep without breaking the bank.

I’m very impressed by the quality of these shocks. The stocks on my 2015 wrangler were absolutely shot and needed replaced. I went with RCs on front and back and for the price they can’t be beat. My jeep floats like a butterfly again with a smooth ride! Very easy installation that I completed myself in about 3 hours(front and back). The top bolt on the front shocks will take the longest… mine unfortunately were rusted out otherwise installation would’ve been much faster. Very happy with my purchase.

Changed the OEM shocks (that were toast) with these. I have a 2″ lift on my JK and these worked well. The front passenger side’s top shock is a bit tight. What I did was to put the top bushing, washer and nut in place but before I did that I used painters tape to hold them all together and made sure the nut was centered. Once I put the top components in place i inserted the top of the shock and rotated it until it started threading the top nut, it would be easier with 2 people (one to rotate shock while the other held the taped up top washer, but it can be done by 1). Takes a bit of finesse but once it starts threading you are golden! These shocks made a huge difference in the smoothness of my ride.

Not as good as I had hoped
Thought it would improve the ride of my 2011 Jeep but definitely did not. Will be looking into other options
