Tuff Country 97026 Block & Ubolt Kit - 2" (H) x 2 1/4" (W) x 6 1/2" (L) Non-Tapered
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 97026 Block & U-Bolt Kit delivers a reliable 2" rear lift for heavy-duty trucks, providing a balanced stance and improved load handling for Chevy Silverado 3500HD (and GMC Sierra 3500 4WD) owners who regularly haul or tow.
- Lift height: 2" rear lift to restore level stance and improve rear clearance when equipped for heavy payloads.
- Block material: Heavy-duty cast iron blocks (or aluminum blocks, depending on the kit contents) engineered for durability between the rear leaf springs and axle.
- U-bolt set: Extended zinc-plated u-bolts sized to fit the Silverado 3500 4WD applications for secure, long-lasting mounting.
- Hardware included: Complete mounting hardware with nuts and washers to simplify installation.
- Installation: Simple bolt-on installation by inserting the blocks between the factory rear leaf springs and axle—no front-end modifications required.
- Fitment: Designed for rear axles only; not for use on the front axle.
- Shocks note: In most cases, extended-length shocks are required when installing 2" blocks; plan for compatible shocks if your current units are stock or aged.
The kit is tailored for 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado 3500 4WD and 2001–2010 GMC Sierra 3500 4WD models. By distributing load through solid lift blocks and robust U-bolts, it helps maintain ride quality while adding the extra capacity you need for towing or heavy cargo. The zinc-plated hardware resists corrosion, keeping the components stout under demanding conditions. With a bolt-on design and a focus on rear-axle performance, this Tuff Country kit provides a practical, durable upgrade that preserves factory-like feel where it matters most.
