What is the main benefit of adding a leaf spring?

Adding a leaf spring increases your vehicle's load capacity, allowing it to carry more weight or tow heavier loads. It can also contribute to a more comfortable ride by providing a progressive spring rate.

How does the shot-peening process benefit the leaf spring?

Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel with high-velocity pellets. This process increases the leaf spring's tensile strength, making it more durable and resistant to fatigue without compromising ride quality.

Does this add-a-leaf come with new center pins or U-bolts?

This kit includes the Skyjacker Softride Add-a-Leaf spring, which is pre-drilled for the center pin. U-bolts and other mounting hardware are typically sold separately and may be required for installation.

Product Details

What you get in this kit is a Skyjacker Softride Add-a-Leaf spring, made from American steel and pre-drilled for your center pin. This part is designed to be added to your existing leaf spring pack to increase your vehicle's load capacity and improve ride comfort. It's a popular way to give your truck or SUV a little extra support when you need it, whether for hauling gear or towing.

Skyjacker uses a shot-peening process on these springs. They blast the steel surface with hard pellets at high speeds. This compresses the steel's surface, which increases its tensile strength. This makes the leaf spring more durable and able to handle more stress without sacrificing ride quality or longevity. The tapered ends on most of these springs help create a more progressive feel, meaning the suspension stiffens up more gradually as it's compressed, which contributes to a more comfortable ride, especially when the truck isn't fully loaded.
