Skyjacker 4" SOFTR REAR SPR RAN/BROII

If you're looking to lift your 1980-1996 Ford F-150 by 4 inches, these rear leaf springs from Skyjacker are a solid option. They're designed to give you that extra height for better off-road capability while still keeping things comfortable on the street. Skyjacker uses American steel in their Softride springs, which is a good sign for durability and consistent performance.

What sets these springs apart is Skyjacker's Softride Technology. It's all about finding that balance between aggressive off-road handling and a smooth ride when you're just cruising around town. They achieve this partly by using bolt-style spring clips. Unlike some other designs, these clips help reduce friction between the spring leaves, which contributes to a more comfortable ride and can help prevent squeaks over time. This attention to detail in how the leaves interact is something you'll appreciate on longer drives or rougher terrain.

When you're installing these, remember they are designed as a direct fit for the specified Ford models. This means you shouldn't need any major modifications to get them bolted up. It's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's instructions for any specific torque values or hardware recommendations to ensure a proper installation. These springs are a key component for achieving that lifted stance and improved suspension performance on your truck.
