Featuring high-pressure nitrogen charging, 10-stage variable valving, a large 54mm shock body, and military-spec fluid rated to -40°C, these shocks are built to perform in demanding trail and winter conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBecause:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rough Country designed the N3 series with a 35mm high-performance piston, chromed hardened 18mm piston rod, 36kN tensile strength rating, and high-volume nitrogen-charged twin-tube construction. The result is improved vibration damping, better heat management, and more consistent suspension control across rough terrain and highway driving alike. Official manufacturer specifications confirm compatibility only with Gladiator JT models equipped with 5-6.5 inches of suspension lift. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Proper shock length is critical to suspension performance.
