Tuff Country 97056 Block & Ubolt Kit - 5 1/2" (H) 3" (W) x 5 1/2" (L) Non-Tapered
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 97056 Rear Block & U-Bolt Kit is a bolt-on solution designed to lift the rear of your Dodge Ram 3500 by 3/4 inch. Built for durability and a factory-like ride, it’s ideal for Ram owners seeking enhanced stance and load handling without a complex install.
- Lift Height: 3/4 inch rear lift to restore stance and improve load management without altering front suspension.
- Block Dimensions: Non-tapered lift blocks measuring 5.5" (H) x 3" (W) x 5.5" (L) for a stable, supportive fit between leaf springs and axle.
- Block Material: Heavy‑duty cast iron blocks (kit may include aluminum blocks in some runs) built for durability under load.
- U‑Bolt Size: Extended zinc-plated u-bolts sized 9/16" x 3" x 18" (square) to secure the block-and-axle assembly.
- Installation Type: Simple bolt‑on installation designed for rear axles only; no front-end lifting or welding required.
- Hardware & Configuration: Includes lift blocks and u-bolts; note that u-bolts are not long enough to stack two blocks, and kits may vary between cast or aluminum blocks based on production.
- Shocks Consideration: For lifts of 2" or taller, extended-length shocks are often recommended to maintain proper dampening; review the Shock Absorbers guidance for compatibility.
The 97056 kit delivers a dependable, straightforward upgrade that preserves a comfortable ride while providing a higher rear stance under load. By replacing the factory blocks with purpose-built 5.5" blocks and securing them with robust, zinc-plated u-bolts, you gain improved rear stability during towing or heavy payloads. The bolt-on design minimizes downtime and keeps the vehicle’s geometry aligned with factory specifications, helping you avoid unnecessary alterations to shocks or suspension components. This kit is crafted for Dodge Ram 3500 rear axles and is a practical choice for drivers seeking a reliable, no-fuss lift solution that supports heavier use without compromising ride quality.
