- Lift Height: 1.5" rear lift using nonβtapered lift blocks with dimensions 1.5" (H) x 2.5" (W) x 4.5" (L).
- Block Material: Blocks are built for durability; depending on the kit, you may receive heavyβduty cast blocks or aluminum blocks.
- UβBolts: Extended zincβplated rear uβbolts designed specifically for the GMC Suburban to replace factory hardware.
- Compatibility: Designed for rear axles only; fits 1988β1998 GM 4WD models, including Suburban, Tahoe/Yukon variants, and corresponding K series pickups listed in the fitment notes.
- Installation: Simple boltβon process by inserting the blocks between the factory rear leaf springs and axle; no welding required.
- Shocks Consideration: For blocks 2" in height or taller, factory shocks may need to be replaced with extendedβlength shocks to preserve ride qualityβconsult the Shock Absorbers section for applicable applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: Zincβplated hardware and uβbolts provide improved resistance to rust and road salt.
The 97033 kit is purposeβbuilt for the rear suspension, helping you achieve a balanced stance whether youβre towing, carrying gear, or simply want a more level look. The combination of solid lift blocks and purposeβmatched uβbolts ensures a secure, factoryβlike ride with the added benefit of durable hardware designed for GMβs 4WD lineup from the late 1980s through the late 1990s. Whether youβre upgrading for clearance or aesthetics, this kit offers a practical, boltβon path to a steadier rear end on your GMC Suburban.
