Product Details
Description
Raise the rear of your Chevy Blazer with the confidence of a proven suspension solution. The Tuff Country 97005 Block & U-bolt Kit delivers a 3-inch rear lift with tapered blocks and zinc-plated U-bolts, engineered specifically for 1970s–1990s Chevy/GMC 4WD trucks and SUVs to improve stance and clearance without sacrificing ride quality.
- Lift Height: 3" rear lift blocks provide a consistent 3-inch raise behind the axle.
- Block Design: Tapered lift blocks engineered to minimize driveline vibrations and maintain smooth operation.
- Block Material: Cast iron construction (kits may include aluminum blocks in some applications) for durability and long life.
- U-bolts: Extended zinc-plated rear u-bolts designed specifically for the Chevy Blazer fitment.
- Block Dimensions: 3" (H) x 2 1/2" (W) x 4 3/4" (L).
- U-bolt Dimensions: 5/8" x 3" x 11 3/4" round.
- Hardware Included: Complete bolt-on kit with all necessary mounting hardware for a straightforward installation.
- Fitment Note: Designed for rear axles only; not recommended for front axles.
- Shocks Consideration: May require extended shocks when installing blocks of 2" or taller.
This kit is ideal for enthusiasts looking to restore or enhance the rear stance of 1973–1991 Chevy Blazer 4WD, GMC Blazer 4WD, Suburban K1500 4WD, and related 1/2-ton models. It delivers a confident, factory-like ride after the lift while opening up ground clearance for off-road adventures and improved approach/departure angles. Built by Tuff Country, a trusted name in suspension, this block-and-u-bolt kit provides a reliable, bolt-on upgrade that preserves overall ride quality while adding the elevation you want.
