Tuff Country 97059 Block & Ubolt Kit - 5 1/2" (H) x 3" (W) x 5 1/2" (L) Tapered
Product Details
Description
Elevate the rear of your Ford 4x4 with confidence using the Tuff Country 97059 Block & U-bolt Kit. This bolt-on kit is designed for Ford Excursion and compatible 4WD trucks, delivering a controlled lift with a factory-like ride.
- Lift block size: 5.5" (H) x 3" (W) x 5.5" (L) tapered blocks, designed to raise the rear and maintain a smooth ride.
- Block material: Heavy-duty cast iron construction; some kits may include aluminum blocks depending on production run.
- U-bolts: Extended zinc-plated U-bolts (5/8" diameter x 3 5/8" width x 14 1/2" length) to replace factory hardware and secure the axle-to-block connection.
- Tapered design: Blocks are machined with a tapered profile to help minimize driveline vibration and maintain driveline angles.
- Installation: Simple bolt-on process; designed for rear axle installation only with included mounting hardware.
- Actual lift and fit: Lift height varies with the size of your factory blocks; identical kit can produce different lifts depending on your vehicle’s existing block size.
- Compatibility: Intended for rear axles on Ford 4WD models, including Ford Excursion (2000–2005) and related F-Series trucks (F-250/F-350 4WD; years vary by model).
- Shocks and clearance: For lifts of 2" or taller, you may need longer shocks to maintain proper alignment and ride quality. Check compatibility in the Shock Absorbers section if combining with this kit.
- Notes on variants: Kits may come with CAST BLOCKS or ALUMINUM BLOCKS; design and function remain focused on a bolt-on rear lift for a stable, factory-feel ride.
This kit preserves a comfortable, factory-like ride while giving you additional rear clearance to suit heavier loads or larger tires. The robust build—cast iron blocks, extended zinc-coated U-bolts, and a tapered profile—helps maintain driveline integrity and long-term durability. Use this kit to achieve a balanced stance on your Ford 4WD, with straightforward installation and reliable, reinforced mounting for everyday use or light off-road adventures.
