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

Shot-peening is a process where the steel leaves are blasted with hard steel pellets at high velocity. This compresses the surface of the steel, increasing its tensile strength. This makes the spring stronger and allows for better wheel travel and ride quality without reducing the spring's lifespan.

How do the bolt-style spring clips differ from other designs?

These springs use bolt-style clips, which help to eliminate friction between the spring leaves. Other designs often use 'C' style clips that bend tightly over the leaves, which can cause binding and friction, potentially affecting ride quality and performance over time.

What is the warranty on these Skyjacker leaf springs?

Skyjacker offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on these Softride leaf springs, indicating their confidence in the product's durability and performance.

Product Details

If you're working on a 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) and need to replace the leaf springs, these Skyjacker Softride springs are a solid option. They're built to match or exceed the original equipment load capacity, ensuring your Jeep handles as it should. The key to their performance is the use of American steel and a process called shot-peening, where the steel is blasted with hard pellets. This compresses the surface, making the spring stronger and allowing for more wheel travel and a better ride without sacrificing the spring's lifespan.

Skyjacker also uses bolt-style spring clips on these Softride springs, which helps eliminate friction that can occur with other designs that use bent clips. This binding can cause issues and reduce performance over time. Additionally, the leaves are tapered along their entire length. This design distributes the load more evenly across the spring and reduces the chance of one leaf digging into the one above it, contributing to a smoother ride and better flex.
