What is shot-peening and why is it important for these springs?

Shot-peening is a process where the steel leaves are blasted with hard steel pellets at high velocity. This compresses the surface of the steel, increasing its tensile strength. This makes the springs more durable and helps them achieve better wheel travel and ride quality without reducing their lifespan.

How do these springs differ from other designs regarding clips?

These Skyjacker Softride springs use bolt-style spring clips. This design helps to eliminate friction between the spring leaves. Other designs might use cinch-style clips, which can bend tightly over the leaves, causing binding and friction.

What is the benefit of the tapered leaf ends?

The leaves on these springs taper over their entire length. This creates more flex at the leaf ends, which distributes loads more evenly over a greater area. It also reduces the tendency for one leaf to dig into the leaf above it, contributing to a smoother ride and less wear.

Product Details

If you're looking to lift your classic GM truck or SUV by 4 inches, these front leaf springs from Skyjacker are a solid option. They're built for a range of 1967-1972 GM models, including Chevrolet K10 and K20 pickups, Blazers, and GMC equivalents. These springs are designed to give you that extra height while also improving the ride quality over stock, which can be a big deal on older vehicles.

Skyjacker uses only American steel for these springs, and they go through a shot-peening process. This involves blasting the steel with hard pellets at high speed, which compresses the surface and increases the spring's tensile strength. This makes the spring more durable and allows for better wheel travel without sacrificing its lifespan. Unlike some other designs that use cinch-style clips which can cause binding, these Softride springs use bolt-style clips to reduce friction. They also feature a taper along the entire length of each leaf, distributing loads more evenly and reducing wear between the leaves.

When you're installing these, remember they're designed to provide a 4-inch lift, so plan your other suspension components accordingly. They're a well-built part that should make a noticeable difference in how your truck handles off-road or when carrying a load.
