Description

The Tuff Country 97075 Block & U-Bolt Kit lifts the rear of your Toyota with a precise 3-inch gain, using tapered cast lift blocks and zinc-plated extended U-bolts for a solid, bolt-on upgrade. Designed for rear-axle applications, it’s built for Toyota 4Runners and trucks that need extra rear clearance without sacrificing ride quality.

  • Lift Height: 3" rear lift blocks that raise the vehicle’s rear by 3 inches for improved ground clearance and stance.
  • Block Construction: Tapered cast iron lift blocks crafted to minimize driveline vibration and maintain a smooth ride.
  • U-Bolts: Extended, zinc-plated 9/16" x 2-1/2" x 10-5/8" U-bolts sized for Toyota 4Runner/Tacoma rear installs.
  • Hardware Included: Complete kit with the necessary nuts and washers for a straightforward bolt-on installation.
  • Shocks Compatibility: For blocks 2" and taller, expect the need to replace factory shocks with extended-length shocks (see related shock applications).
  • Rear-Only Design: Specifically built for the rear axle; not intended for use on the front axle.
  • Vehicle Compatibility: Designed to fit 1986–1989 Toyota 4Runner 4WD (2.5" wide U-bolts), 1986–1995 Toyota Truck 4WD (2.5" wide U-bolts), and 1995–2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD.

With a 3-inch rear lift, you gain noticeable ground clearance for tougher trails and larger tires, along with a more balanced stance when carrying gear or towing. The tapered block design helps curb driveline vibrations for a steadier on-road feel, while the zinc-plated U-bolts resist corrosion in challenging weather conditions. This kit is a dependable, simple bolt-on upgrade that enhances capability without radically changing your vehicle’s everyday drivability.
