About this part

3-Inch Lift Blocks & U-Bolts, fitment-checked

For the 1978–1979 Ford Bronco 4WD in Custom, Ranger XLT, and Northland trim, 6542 supplies 3-inch fabricated steel rear blocks and round U-bolts. The blocks are tapered to reduce driveshaft angle and take a single 9/16-inch pin; the U-bolts are 9/16-inch thread with 3.25 inches inside width and 10.5 inches inside length.

This 3-inch block and U-bolt kit fits the 1978–1979 Ford Bronco 4WD, including Custom, Ranger XLT, and Northland trims. The blocks are fabricated steel rather than cast, tapered so driveshaft angle stays reasonable at the new ride height, 2.5 inches wide, and set up for a single 9/16-inch center pin. Round U-bolts complete the set with a 9/16-inch thread, 3.25-inch inside width, and 10.5-inch inside length, e-coated black against corrosion. Rough Country lists 2-3 hours for the install. Shipping weight: 14.0 lb.
