Product Details
Description
Lift the rear of your Dodge Ram 3500 with confidence using the Tuff Country 97049 Block & U‑Bolt Kit. Engineered for 4WD Ram trucks, this bolt‑on kit adds 4 inches of rear lift while preserving a factory‑like ride.
- Lift Height: 4" rear lift height to enhance stance, ground clearance, and suspension geometry on Ram 3500 4WD.
- Block Material & Design: Heavy‑duty cast iron lift blocks with a tapered shape to minimize driveline vibration; dual‑pin design for added stability and alignment.
- Block Dimensions: 4" (H) x 3" (W) x 5 3/4" (L) to fit standard rear leaf spring configurations.
- U‑Bolt Kit: Zinc‑plated extended rear u‑bolts designed specifically for the Ram 3500; includes nuts and washers; dimensions 9/16" diameter x 3 1/2" width x 15" length (round).
- Installation: Simple bolt‑on process; lift blocks insert between the factory rear leaf springs and axle for a straightforward upgrade.
- Shocks Compatibility: For lifts of 2" or taller, you may need longer shocks to maintain proper ride and handling—see the shocks section for applications.
- Vehicle Fitment: Designed for rear axles only; not suitable for front axle installations.
- Contents: Kit includes lift blocks and u‑bolts; blocks may be cast or aluminum depending on batch; hardware and other components provided as part of the kit.
This rear block kit is specifically crafted for the Dodge Ram 3500 4WD with a 3.5" rear axle tube and is compatible with 2003–2025 Ram 3500 4WD (and 2003–2013 Ram 2500 4WD). The tapered block design and zinc‑plated hardware are built to withstand road and weather conditions, delivering a durable upgrade for heavier loads, towing, or simply achieving a more balanced stance. If you’re lifting more than 2", plan for extended shocks to maintain ride quality and articulation.
