Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 97022 Block & U-Bolt Kit is a bolt‑on rear lift solution designed for GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD pickups. It adds a reliable 2-inch rear lift while preserving a factory ride, making it ideal for owners looking to level the stance and improve load handling without a full suspension overhaul.
- Lift Height: 2-inch rear lift blocks paired with extended u-bolts to raise the rear axle and improve stance.
- Fitment: Designed for 2001–2010 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD and 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 4WD.
- Block Materials: Kits may include heavy‑duty cast blocks or aluminum blocks depending on the specific package.
- U‑Bolts: Extended zinc‑plated rear u-bolts sized for secure mounting (5/8" x 2 3/4" x 12 7/8" – square).
- Installation: Simple bolt‑on procedure that places lift blocks between the factory rear leaf springs and axle; requires replacing factory u-bolts with the supplied extended versions.
- Finish & Durability: Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance to withstand road exposure and weather.
- Rear‑Axle Only: Designed exclusively for the rear axle; not intended for use on the front axle.
- Shocks Consideration: On most applications, factory shocks should be replaced with extended‑length shocks when installing rear blocks 2" high or taller.
This kit delivers a solid, purpose‑built solution for GMC Sierra 2500HD and Chevy Silverado 2500HD owners seeking a practical 2" rear lift. The combination of cast or aluminum lift blocks with zinc‑coated u‑bolts ensures a durable, long‑lasting install that stays true to the vehicle’s core suspension geometry. Plan for appropriate extended shocks if you’re lifting the rear, and enjoy a more balanced stance that supports heavier loads and improved visual proportion.
