Product Details

Description

The Tuff Country 97054 Block & U-Bolt Kit is a bolt-on rear lift solution built for Dodge Ram 3500 4WD owners who want a subtle, balanced stance and improved load handling without sacrificing daily ride quality.

  • Rear lift height: 3/4" lift that replaces the factory block, designed to preserve a factory-like ride while adding a small, noticeable lift.
  • Lift block dimensions: 5.5" (H) x 3" (W) x 5 1/2" (L); non-tapered design for even load distribution across the axle.
  • Block material: Heavy-duty cast iron blocks (kits may also include aluminum blocks depending on the specific package).
  • U-bolts: Extended zinc-plated rear U-bolts for Dodge Ram 3500, sized to fit the revised block height and axle configuration.
  • Hardware and fasteners: Complete mounting hardware included to secure blocks and U-bolts for a reliable, long-lasting fit.
  • Installation notes: Designed for rear axles only; not suitable for front axles. U-bolts are not long enough to stack two blocks. If installing rear blocks 2" in height or taller, longer shocks may be required.
  • Vehicle fitment: Specifically engineered for 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 3500 4WD without Contact Overload.

This kit lifts the rear of your Ram 3500 by 3/4" while maintaining a comfortable, factory-style ride. It’s a practical upgrade for drivers who tow, haul heavy loads, or simply prefer a more level rear stance. The corrosion-resistant zinc-plated hardware and robust lift blocks are built to endure under demanding conditions, giving you a secure, low-maintenance solution that fits cleanly with the Ram’s rear suspension geometry.
