Tuff Country 97031 Block & Ubolt Kit - 3" (H) x 2 1/4" (W) x 6 1/2" (L) Non-Tapered
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 97031 Block & U-Bolt Kit is a bolt-on rear lift solution designed for 1999–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD. It provides a reliable 1.5-inch rear lift by replacing the factory block, helping your truck sit level when loaded and enhancing overall stance.
- Rear Lift: 1.5 inches (replaces factory block) to improve rear stance without sacrificing ride quality.
- Block Dimensions: 3" (H) x 2 1/4" (W) x 6 1/2" (L) non-tapered lift blocks.
- Block Material: Heavy-duty cast iron blocks (some kits may use aluminum blocks) for durability and long-lasting support.
- U-Bolts: Extended zinc-plated rear u-bolts designed specifically for the Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD, ensuring secure mounting.
- Hardware Included: Comprehensive installation hardware with washers and nuts for a straightforward bolt-on process.
- Dimensions: U-bolt size 9/16" x 2 3/4" x 12 5/8" (square) for a proper fit with the factory leaf springs.
- Installation Notes: Simple bolt-on installation and designed for rear axles only; never use lift blocks on a front axle. For lifts taller than 2", check shock compatibility as extended-length shocks may be required.
- Vehicle Fitment: Replaces factory blocks on 1999–2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD and 1999–2025 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD.
The 97031 kit is built to preserve a comfortable, factory-like ride while delivering a clear rear lift. The included zinc-plated hardware resists corrosion, helping maintain a clean appearance and strong mounting over time. Whether you’re hauling gear, towing, or simply want a more balanced stance, this kit provides a confident, easy-to-install upgrade that aligns with the truck’s factory suspension geometry.
