Tuff Country 97052 Block & Ubolt Kit - 5 1/2" (H) x 2 1/2" (W) x 5 1/4" (L) Tapered
Product Details
Description
Upgrade the rear suspension on your 1994–2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD with the Tuff Country 97052 Block & U-Bolt Kit. This bolt-on kit uses tapered lift blocks and extended u-bolts to provide a precise 3/4" rear lift while preserving a comfortable, factory-like ride.
- Rear lift: 3/4" rear lift achieved by replacing factory blocks on the Ram 1500 4WD.
- Block dimensions: 5.5" (H) x 2.5" (W) x 5.25" (L) tapered lift blocks designed for smooth operation.
- Block material options: Heavy‑duty cast iron blocks (kits may also include aluminum blocks, depending on production run).
- Tapered design: Tapered blocks engineered to reduce driveline vibration and maintain smooth acceleration.
- U‑bolt kit: Extended zinc‑plated rear u-bolts sized for the Ram 1500’s rear axle.
- U‑bolt dimensions: 9/16" (diameter) x 2 3/4" (width) x 14 5/8" (length); square configuration for secure mounting.
- When to use: Designed for rear axle only; not for front axles. Replaces factory blocks.
- Shocks note: In some setups, extended-length shocks may be required when using taller blocks; check compatibility with your current shocks.
- Brand and fit: Custom-made for the Dodge Ram 1500; engineered by Tuff Country for a reliable, bolt-on installation.
This kit includes lift blocks and u‑bolts to restore a balanced rear stance, making it a practical choice for owners aiming to improve load handling, level appearance, or compensate for wear without a full suspension lift. The corrosion-resistant hardware and precision‑crafted blocks work together to deliver a stable, factory-like ride after installation.

Will this affect my ride quality?
Tuff Country products are engineered to balance ride comfort, performance, and durability. Ride quality can change depending on lift height, vehicle setup, tire size, and other suspension components.

Can I run larger tires with this product?
Many Tuff Country lift kits and suspension components allow for larger tire sizes, but maximum tire clearance depends on wheel offset, tire width, and vehicle configuration. Refer to the product details or contact support for guidance.
