What is the purpose of the shot peening process on these leaf springs?

Shot peening is a process that bombards the spring with small metal pellets. This creates a compressive stress on the surface of the metal, which helps to reduce internal stresses and make the spring more resistant to cracking and fatigue, ultimately increasing its lifespan.

Do these leaf springs come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

The manufacturer's description does not specify if hardware is included. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or contact Old Man Emu directly for a complete list of included components.

How do the nylon interleaf pads affect the ride quality?

The nylon interleaf pads are designed to reduce friction between the individual leaves of the spring. This helps to prevent squeaking and allows the leaves to move more freely against each other, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Product Details

The CS151R leaf springs from Old Man Emu are built to handle whatever your 2005-2017 Nissan Frontier throws at them. These aren't just basic springs; they're part of an integrated system designed to give you a much better ride, whether you're on the trail or hauling gear for work. They're made to offer improved handling and a better feel for the road, even when the vehicle is loaded down.

What sets these apart is the attention to detail in their construction. You'll find re-greasable nylon pads between the leaves to cut down on friction and noise, and a two-stage leaf pack design on most rear springs for a more comfortable ride. They're also shot peened and fully scragged, processes that help reduce stress within the metal and make the springs more resistant to sagging over time. The military wrap design adds an extra layer of safety, and the bolted leaf clamps allow for those anti-squeak liners to be installed.

When you're looking to get the most out of your Frontier's suspension, these springs are a solid option. They're load tested to ensure they meet Old Man Emu's standards, giving you confidence in their performance for both daily driving and more demanding use.
