What is shot-peening and why is it important for 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 and making the leaf more durable and resistant to fatigue. It's crucial for achieving good wheel travel and ride quality without compromising the leaf's lifespan.

Will this kit change the ride height of my truck?

Add-a-leaf kits are primarily designed to increase your vehicle's load capacity. While they can sometimes result in a slight increase in rear ride height, especially when unloaded, their main function is to provide additional support for heavier loads and towing.

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 new U-bolts or center pins are included. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or contact customer support for a complete hardware list.

Product Details

Skyjacker has been known for making suspension components for a long time, and their Add A Leaf kits are a popular way to give your truck a little more carrying capacity. This particular kit, the RCC25, is designed to work with a range of vehicles, including the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Isuzu i-series trucks from various years. If you find yourself hauling heavier loads or towing occasionally, adding an extra leaf to your existing spring pack can make a noticeable difference in how your truck handles the weight.

What sets these leaves apart is how they're made. Skyjacker uses American steel and puts it through a shot-peening process. This means they blast the steel with hard pellets at high speeds, which compresses the surface and actually increases the steel's tensile strength. This makes the leaf stronger and more durable, allowing for better wheel travel and ride comfort without sacrificing the leaf's lifespan. They're also pre-drilled for the center pin, and many have tapered ends to help provide a smoother, more progressive feel when the suspension is loaded.

When you install these, you'll find that your vehicle's load capacity will be equal to or greater than the original equipment. It's a solid option if you need a bit more support for your truck's rear suspension.
