What is the benefit of shot-peening the steel?

Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel, which increases its tensile strength. This makes the leaf springs more durable and allows for better wheel travel and ride quality without reducing the spring's lifespan.

How do these springs differ from those with cinch clips?

These Softride springs use bolt-style spring clips, which eliminate friction. Other designs use cinch-style clips that bend tightly over the spring leaves, potentially causing binding and friction that can affect ride quality and longevity.

Are these springs sold as a pair?

These leaf springs are sold individually. If you are replacing both front springs on your Jeep, please ensure you order two units.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1959-1975 Jeep CJ5, CJ6, or Willys a lift and a smoother ride, these front leaf springs from Skyjacker are a solid option. They're designed to provide a 2 to 2.5-inch lift, giving you a bit more ground clearance and room for larger tires.

Skyjacker uses American steel for these Softride springs, and a key part of their construction is a shot-peening process. This involves blasting the steel with hard pellets at high speed, which compresses the surface and increases the steel's tensile strength. This makes the springs more durable and allows for better flex without sacrificing longevity. Unlike some other designs that use cinch clips which can cause binding, these use bolt-style clips to reduce friction. The leaves are also tapered along their entire length, which helps distribute loads more evenly and allows for more flex at the ends, contributing to a more comfortable ride.

These springs are a direct replacement for the front of your Jeep, designed to fit right in place. They are sold individually, so be sure to order two if you're replacing both front springs.
