What is shot-peening and why is it important for these leaf springs?

Shot-peening is a process where the steel is blasted with hard pellets at high velocity. This compresses the surface of the steel, increasing its tensile strength. For these add-a-leafs, it means they can handle more load and last longer without compromising ride quality or wheel travel.

Will this kit change the ride height of my Toyota Tacoma?

Add-a-leaf kits are primarily designed to increase load capacity. While they can slightly increase the rear ride height due to the added leaf, the exact amount can vary based on the condition of your existing leaf springs and the vehicle's load.

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

The manufacturer states that the add-a-leafs are pre-drilled for the center pin. However, it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of included hardware and any additional items you might need for proper installation.

Product Details

Skyjacker is known for making suspension components that hold up to tough use. If you're looking to give your 1995-2018 Toyota Tacoma a bit more carrying capacity, their Softride Add-a-leaf kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to increase the load-carrying ability of your existing leaf springs, which is great for when you're hauling gear or towing.

These add-a-leafs are constructed from American steel and go through a shot-peening process. This involves blasting the steel with hard pellets at high speeds, which compresses the surface and increases the leaf's tensile strength. This makes the leaf stronger and helps it handle more weight without sacrificing ride quality or wheel travel over time. They're also pre-drilled for the center pin, and many applications feature tapered ends for a smoother, more progressive feel.
