Product Details

Description

The Tuff Country 97025 Block & Ubolt Kit provides a reliable, bolt-on rear lift for heavy-duty GM pickups. Designed for 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado 3500 and GMC Sierra 3500 4WD, it adds a clean 1" rear lift to improve stance and payload capability without compromising ride quality.

  • Lift amount: 1" rear lift with non-tapered lift blocks to restore posture under load
  • Material & hardware: heavy-duty cast iron blocks paired with zinc-plated extended U-bolts for corrosion resistance
  • Vehicle fitment: engineered specifically for 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado 3500 4WD and 2001–2010 GMC Sierra 3500 4WD
  • Installation method: simple bolt-on process by inserting the lift blocks between the factory rear leaf springs and axle
  • Complete kit: includes all necessary hardware to complete the rear lift installation
  • Important usage note: rear blocks alter ride height at the rear; for blocks 2" or taller, extended-length shocks are typically required
  • Design intent: rear-axle-only lift that preserves a factory-like ride while providing additional load height

This kit focuses on a straightforward, field-proven upgrade. With durable cast lift blocks and purpose-built U-bolts, it’s built to handle typical 4WD use, from work payloads to weekend hauls. The design centers on a clean, reliable installation that keeps the vehicle’s handling familiar while addressing rear sag under load.
