Tuff Country 97087 Block & Ubolt Kit - 4" (H) x 2 1/2" (W) x 4 3/4" (L) Tapered
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 97087 Block & U-Bolt Kit is a bolt-on rear lift solution for 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD pickups. It’s designed to raise the rear by 2 inches, using tapered 4-inch lift blocks and extended U-bolts to preserve a factory-like ride while adding ground clearance for payloads and towing setups.
- Rear lift: 2" rear lift achieved by replacing the factory block, helping level the stance and improve load handling.
- Lift blocks: 4" tall, 2 1/2" wide, 4 3/4" long; tapered design to reduce driveline vibration and promote smooth operation.
- Block material: Heavy-duty cast iron construction (aluminum variants may also be included in some kits) for durability under load.
- U-bolts: Extended, zinc-plated rear U-bolts sized to fit Ford F-150 applications precisely for secure mounting.
- Hardware & fitment: Includes the necessary nuts, washers, and components; designed for 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD with rear axle only (not for front axle).
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc-plated components resist rust and corrosion to maintain performance in harsh weather.
- Installation note: Simple bolt-on installation; blocks replace the factory block. On many setups, factory-length shocks must be replaced with extended-length shocks when installing rear blocks 2" or taller.
- Brand precision: Manufactured by Tuff Country, a trusted name in off-road suspension components with a history of reliable, practical lift solutions.
Benefits: This kit provides a practical, install-it-yourself approach to increasing rear clearance on your Ford F-150 4WD, improving load capacity and stance without compromising ride quality. The tapered blocks help maintain driveline alignment, while the extended U-bolts and zinc-plated hardware deliver a secure, durable fit. Whether you’re towing, carrying heavier loads, or simply want a more balanced look, the 97087 kit offers a straightforward path to a confident, capable rear-end upgrade. For best results, consider compatible extended-length shocks if you’re upgrading blocks there or taller than the stock setup.
