What is the benefit of shot-peening the springs?

Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel at high velocity. This process increases the tensile strength of the spring, allowing for greater wheel travel and improved ride quality without sacrificing the spring's durability.

How do the bolt-style spring clips differ from other designs?

Bolt-style spring clips are used to prevent friction and binding between the spring leaves. This is an improvement over cinch-style clips, which can bend tightly over the leaves and cause binding, negatively impacting ride quality and performance.

What is the advantage of tapered leaf ends?

The tapering of the leaf ends along the entire length of the spring allows for more flex at the ends. This distributes loads more evenly over a greater area, reducing stress points and preventing one leaf from digging into the one above it, contributing to a smoother ride.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ a bit more ground clearance for tackling tougher trails, this Skyjacker Softride lift kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to provide a 2 to 2.5-inch lift, giving you the extra room needed for larger tires and better suspension articulation off-road.

Skyjacker builds these Softride springs using American steel, and they undergo a shot-peening process. This involves bombarding the steel with high-velocity pellets, which compresses the surface and significantly increases the spring's tensile strength. This advanced treatment is crucial for achieving maximum wheel travel and a comfortable ride without compromising the spring's lifespan. Unlike some other designs that use cinch-style clips which can cause binding and friction, these springs feature bolt-style clips that eliminate that issue. The leaves themselves are tapered along their entire length, allowing for more flex at the ends. This tapering helps distribute loads more evenly across a larger area, reducing the chance of one leaf digging into the one above it, which further contributes to a smoother ride and improved performance.

This kit is designed to work as a complete system with your Jeep's suspension. The rear Softride springs are specifically included to complement the overall Skyjacker suspension lift, ensuring a cohesive and well-performing setup for your YJ. When installing this kit, you'll want to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific details on mounting and any other components that may be required to complete the installation safely and effectively.
