What is the benefit of shot-peening the leaf springs?

Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel at high velocity. This process increases the tensile strength of the spring, allowing for more wheel travel and improved ride quality without compromising the spring's lifespan.

How do these springs differ from other designs?

These Softride springs use bolt-style clips, which help eliminate friction and binding. Other designs often use cinch-style clips that can cause the leaves to bind, reducing flex and potentially shortening the spring's life.

What else might I need to complete a 6-inch lift installation?

A 6-inch lift installation typically involves more than just leaf springs. You may need longer shocks, brake line extensions, and potentially other suspension or driveline components depending on your specific vehicle and desired outcome. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list.

Product Details

Skyjacker is known for making suspension components that can handle tough conditions, and their Softride leaf springs are a prime example. If you're looking to lift your 1961-1993 Dodge truck or SUV by 6 inches, these springs are built to get the job done. They're designed to work with a wide range of Dodge and Plymouth models from that era, including the Ramcharger, W150, and W250 pickups, giving you more wheel travel and a better ride without sacrificing durability.

What sets these springs apart is the material and the process. Skyjacker uses only American steel, and each leaf is shot-peened. This process compresses the steel's surface, increasing its tensile strength. This means you get improved wheel travel and a more comfortable ride, all while ensuring the spring can handle the load and last a long time. Unlike some other designs that use cinch-style clips which can cause binding and friction, these Softride springs use bolt-style clips. This design helps eliminate friction, allowing the spring to flex more freely. The leaves themselves are tapered over their entire length, which distributes loads more evenly and reduces wear between individual leaves.

When you're installing these, you'll be working with a well-built set of springs that are designed to fit right into your Dodge's suspension system. They are a key component for achieving that 6-inch lift and improving your vehicle's off-road capability and on-road comfort.
