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

Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel, increasing its tensile strength. This allows for greater wheel travel and a better ride quality without sacrificing the spring's durability over time.

How do Skyjacker's bolt-style spring clips differ from other designs?

Unlike cinch-style clips that can bend tightly over the spring leaves and cause binding and friction, Skyjacker's bolt-style clips eliminate this friction. This contributes to a smoother operation and longer spring life.

Does this leaf spring set include all necessary hardware for installation?

This product listing is for the front leaf springs only. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or contact Skyjacker directly to confirm if any additional hardware is included or required for proper installation.

Product Details

Starting with American steel, Skyjacker's Softride leaf springs for your 1973-1979 Ford F-250 are built to handle a 4-6 inch lift. Each individual leaf undergoes a shot-peening process, where hard steel pellets are fired at high velocity. This compresses the steel's surface, significantly increasing its tensile strength. This step is crucial because it allows for maximum wheel travel and a better ride without compromising the spring's lifespan.

Beyond the material strength, Skyjacker uses bolt-style spring clips. Unlike cinch-style clips that can bind and create friction between the leaves, these bolt clips eliminate that issue. The Softride design also features a taper that runs the entire length of each leaf. This tapering creates more flex at the ends of the leaves, which helps distribute loads more evenly across a larger area. This design also reduces the chance of one leaf digging into the one above it, contributing to a smoother ride and less wear.

This set is designed to fit your 1973-1979 Ford F-250 and the 1979 Ford F-350, providing the foundation for your suspension lift. When installing, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper mounting and any additional hardware requirements.
