Description

The Tuff Country 97050 2" Rear Block & U-Bolt Kit is a bolt-on lift solution designed for the Dodge Ram 3500 4WD. It raises the rear by 2 inches while preserving a factory-like ride, making it ideal for leveling stance, improved load management, and towing readiness.

  • Lift Height: Adds 2" of rear lift to improve stance and payload alignment without dramatic modifications.
  • Block Type: Non-tapered lift blocks, dual pinned, available in cast iron or aluminum depending on kit composition.
  • Block Dimensions: 2" (H) x 3" (W) x 5 3/4" (L) for a balanced, stable spacer between leaf springs and axle.
  • U-Bolts: Extended zinc-plated rear u-bolts designed specifically for the Dodge Ram 3500; dimensions 9/16" x 4 1/8" x 15" (round).
  • Installation: Simple bolt-on process using the factory mounting points; designed for rear axle only and does not apply to the front axle.
  • Shocks Compatibility: In most applications, factory length shocks must be replaced with extended length shocks when installing rear blocks 2" in height or taller.
  • Vehicle Fitment: Designed for 2003–2025 Dodge Ram 3500 4WD with 4" rear axle tube; also compatible with 2003–2013 Ram 2500 4WD models with the same rear axle tube configuration.
  • Durability: Zinc-plated u-bolts provide corrosion resistance to withstand road and weather exposure.

Engineered for reliability and straightforward installation, this kit ensures a controlled 2" rear lift that maintains the Ram 3500’s ride quality while enhancing headroom for larger tires, improved load alignment, and a more level stance during towing. For best results, plan for compatible extended-length shocks and follow standard installation practices to preserve ride behavior and axle geometry.
