What is the main benefit of using an 'add-a-leaf' kit?

An add-a-leaf kit is designed to increase the load-carrying capacity of your vehicle's rear suspension. It can also contribute to a more comfortable ride, especially when the vehicle is carrying extra weight.

How does the shot-peening process benefit the leaf springs?

Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel with high-velocity steel pellets. This process increases the tensile strength of the leaf, making it more durable and extending its service life.

Does this kit come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

The manufacturer description states the leaves are pre-drilled for the center pin. However, it does not specify if additional hardware like center pins or U-bolts are included. It's recommended to consult the full installation instructions or contact customer support for a complete hardware list.

Product Details

Skyjacker is known for making suspension components that can handle tough conditions, and their Add A Leaf kits are no different. If you're looking to give your 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) a little more carrying capacity or a smoother ride, this kit is a solid option. It's designed to work with your existing rear leaf springs to add an extra layer of support.

These aren't just any pieces of steel; Skyjacker uses American steel that's put through a shot-peening process. Think of it like a high-velocity sandblasting, but with hard steel pellets. This compresses the surface of the metal, making the leaf stronger and more resistant to fatigue. This improved tensile strength is key to getting more wheel travel and a better ride without sacrificing how long the leaf will last. Plus, they're pre-drilled for the center pin and often have tapered ends to help the spring flex progressively, which really helps with ride comfort when you're loaded up.

This kit is designed to bolt onto your existing leaf spring setup, making it a straightforward addition for most DIYers. It's a practical way to get a bit more out of your Jeep's suspension.
