Description

  • Lift Block Material: Heavy‑duty cast iron blocks (some kits may ship with aluminum blocks depending on production batch).
  • Block Dimensions: 5.5 in (H) x 3 in (W) x 5.5 in (L); designed to replace the factory rear blocks.
  • U‑Bolt Kit: Extended zinc-plated rear u-bolts sized for the Dodge Ram 3500; 9/16 in diameter x 3 in wide x 14-5/8 in long.
  • Installation: Simple bolt‑on installation that reuses factory mounting points and hardware where applicable.
  • Compatibility: Rear axle only; not intended for front axles. Fits 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD models with appropriate rear suspension.
  • Shocks Note: If installing blocks 2 in height or taller, you may need extended‑length shocks to maintain proper travel and ride quality.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Zinc‑plated components provide enhanced protection against rust and road salts.

The kit replaces the factory rear blocks with tapered, purpose‑built blocks to deliver a precise 0.75‑inch lift while maintaining a smooth, factory‑like ride. Extended u‑bolts and hardware are included to ensure secure clamping and long‑term durability. Designed specifically for the Dodge Ram 3500 rear suspension, this kit helps level the stance, improve rear stance for towing or loaded conditions, and preserve the vehicle’s alignment characteristics with a straightforward installation.
