Skyjacker 6" SOFTR FRT SPRGS 73-87 GM

When you're looking to lift your 1973-1987 GM truck or SUV by 6 inches, these Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs are a solid option. You get a pair of front leaf springs designed to give your vehicle a more comfortable ride and improved wheel travel, all while providing the lift you need for larger tires. These springs are constructed using American steel, a material known for its strength and durability. Each individual leaf undergoes a shot-peening process. This involves bombarding the steel surface with high-velocity steel pellets, which compresses the surface and increases the steel's tensile strength. This advanced treatment is crucial for achieving maximum wheel travel and a better ride quality without compromising the spring's lifespan.

Skyjacker's Softride design also incorporates bolt-style spring clips. Unlike traditional cinch-style clips that can bind and create friction between the spring leaves, these bolt clips eliminate that issue, contributing to a smoother operation. Furthermore, the leaves themselves are tapered over their entire length. This tapering allows for more flex at the ends of the leaves, which helps distribute loads more evenly across a larger area. This design also reduces the tendency for one leaf to dig into the one above it, further enhancing ride comfort and preventing premature wear. This attention to detail in materials and design means you're getting a well-built component that's made to perform.

These front leaf springs are designed to fit a wide range of 1973-1991 GM trucks and SUVs, including models like the Chevrolet K10, GMC Jimmy, and Chevrolet K5 Blazer. They are intended to provide a 6-inch lift, allowing for the installation of larger tires and giving your vehicle a more aggressive stance. Ensure you have the necessary hardware and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and performance.
