Tuff Country 97008 Block & Ubolt Kit - 2" (H) x 2 1/2" (W) x 4 1/2" (L) Non-Tapered
Product Details
Description
Lift the rear of your Chevy or GMC 3/4-ton 4WD with the Tuff Country 97008 Block & U-Bolt Kit. This bolt‑on kit adds a precise 2-inch rear lift while preserving the factory ride, making it ideal for towing, hauling, or leveling an aging truck.
- Lift Height: Raises the rear of the vehicle by 2 inches for a level stance and improved load handling.
- Block Type: Non-tapered lift blocks designed for reliable load distribution between the factory leaf springs and axle.
- Block Material: Block options include cast iron or aluminum (kit varies by shipment) to balance strength and weight.
- Block Dimensions: 2" (H) x 2 1/2" (W) x 4 1/2" (L).
- U-Bolts: Extended zinc-plated rear U-bolts designed specifically for Chevy/GMC rear axles (5/8" x 3 1/2" x 12 1/2" round).
- Vehicle Fitment: For rear axles only; 3/4-ton 4WD Chevy/GMC trucks and full-size SUVs from 1973–1991 (Suburban K2500 4WD and GMC equivalents).
- Coatings & Durability: Zinc-plated U-bolts and sturdy lift blocks deliver corrosion resistance for long‑term use.
- Installation: Simple bolt-on installation; check compatibility with your shocks—factory shocks may need to be replaced with extended-length shocks when using 2" blocks.
This kit supports a level, stable stance under load, whether you’re towing a trailer, carrying heavy gear, or simply restoring the rear height on an older 3/4-ton Chevy/GMC. Built by Tuff Country, it emphasizes a reliable, factory‑like ride with durable components that stand up to daily use. If you’re upgrading an older truck to accommodate heavier loads or improve clearance, the 97008 kit provides a straightforward, durable solution that fits the intended rear axle configuration.
