What is the benefit of shot-peening the steel leaves?

Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel, which increases the spring's tensile strength. This process allows for maximum wheel travel and improved ride quality without sacrificing the spring's lifespan.

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

Bolt-style spring clips are used to eliminate friction between the spring leaves. Other designs, like cinch-style clips, bend tightly over the leaves, which can cause binding and friction that negatively impacts ride quality.

What else might I need to install this lift kit?

While this kit provides the primary lift components, it's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions. You may need additional hardware or alignment services depending on your specific vehicle and desired setup.

Product Details

The individual leaves in this Skyjacker Softride lift kit are shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocities. This process compresses the surface of the American steel, increasing the spring's tensile strength. Without this, achieving maximum wheel travel and a comfortable ride quality would mean sacrificing the spring's lifespan. Skyjacker uses bolt-style spring clips on these Softride springs, which helps eliminate friction. Many other spring designs use cinch-style clips that bend tightly over the leaves, causing binding and friction that can affect performance and comfort.

These Softride springs also feature a taper that runs the entire length of the leaf. This design creates more flex at the leaf ends, distributing loads more evenly over a greater area. It also reduces the tendency for one leaf to dig into the one above it, contributing to a smoother ride. The rear Softride springs are designed to work as part of a complete Skyjacker suspension lift system, ensuring all components work together for optimal performance. This kit provides a 3.5 to 4-inch lift, giving your 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ the clearance needed for larger tires and improved off-road capability.

This kit includes the necessary components to achieve the lift height. For a complete suspension overhaul, consider pairing these springs with other Skyjacker components designed for your Jeep Wrangler YJ. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the installation process and any additional hardware that may be required.
