Skyjacker Leaf Spring 1979-1986 GMC K3500 Pickup

What you get here is a single Skyjacker Softride leaf spring, built to replace the original on a range of trucks like the 1979-1986 GMC K3500 Pickup, 1969-1986 Chevrolet K10 Suburban, and 1975-1986 Chevrolet K20. These springs are constructed from American steel and undergo a shot-peening process. This involves blasting the steel with hard pellets at high speed, which compresses the surface and increases the spring's tensile strength. This makes the spring more durable and allows for better wheel travel and ride quality without sacrificing longevity.

Skyjacker's Softride springs also use bolt-style spring clips, which are designed to eliminate friction between the leaves. This is different from 'C' style clips that can cause binding. The leaves themselves are tapered along their entire length, creating more flex at the ends. This design helps distribute loads more evenly across a larger area, reducing the chance of one leaf digging into the one above it and contributing to a smoother ride.
