Skyjacker 8" 67-72 GM FRT SOFTR SPRGS

What you get here is a pair of Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs, designed to give your 1967-1972 GM truck or SUV an 8-inch lift. These springs are built with American steel, and Skyjacker puts each leaf through a shot-peening process. This involves blasting the steel with hard pellets at high speeds, which compresses the surface. This compression increases the steel's tensile strength, making the spring more durable and allowing for better wheel travel and a smoother ride without sacrificing the spring's lifespan.

The design of these Softride springs also helps reduce friction. Unlike other springs that use cinch-style clips that can bind the leaves, these use bolt-style clips. This means less friction between the spring leaves, contributing to a more consistent flex. Furthermore, the leaves themselves are tapered over their entire length. This tapering distributes the load more evenly across a larger area, especially towards the ends of the leaves. This design reduces the chance of one leaf digging into the one above it, which can cause stress points and premature wear. This setup is ideal for trucks like the Chevrolet K10 Pickup or GMC K1500 Pickup looking to gain significant lift and improved ride characteristics.
