Product Details
Description
Engineered by Tuff Country, the 97082 3" Rear Block & U-Bolt Kit lifts the rear of your Toyota 4Runner with a clean, factory-feel ride. This bolt-on kit is designed for SUV enthusiasts and daily drivers who want extra ground clearance without compromising handling or comfort.
- Lift Height: 3" rear lift achieved with tapered cast blocks to safely raise the rear axle.
- Block Construction: Cast iron lift blocks for durability and long-lasting performance, designed to minimize driveline vibration.
- Block Dimensions: 3" (H) x 2 1/2" (W) x 4 3/4" (L) to fit the Toyota 4Runner rear axle geometry.
- U-Bolts: Extended zinc-plated rear u-bolts specifically sized for this kit, built to replace the factory hardware with corrosion resistance.
- Installation: Simple bolt-on process that inserts lift blocks between the factory rear leaf springs and axle and uses the new u-bolts for secure mounting.
- Vehicle Fitment: Rear-axle-only kit compatible with 1986–1989 Toyota 4Runner 4WD using 3.75" wide u-bolts and 1986–1995 Toyota Truck 4WD with 3.75" wide u-bolts.
- Shocks Note: For many applications, when using 3" blocks, extended-length shocks may be required; check your shock selection for proper fitment after installation.
The Tuff Country 97082 kit is purpose-built for rear suspension upgrades on the Toyota 4Runner, delivering a stable lift that maintains a comfortable on-road feel while increasing ground clearance for light off-road use. Cast lift blocks and zinc-coated hardware are chosen to withstand road salt and weather, ensuring lasting performance. This kit is ideal for readers who want a straightforward, reliable way to achieve a more commanding stance without sacrificing ride quality.
