Skyjacker Leaf Spring 1988-1998 Chevrolet K3500 Pickup

If you're looking to replace the leaf springs on your 1988-1998 Chevrolet K3500 pickup, or other compatible GM trucks like the K1500 or K2500, these Skyjacker Softride leaf springs are a solid option. They are built to meet or exceed the original equipment load capacity, ensuring your truck can handle the work you need it to do. Skyjacker uses American steel for these springs, which are then put through a shot-peening process. This involves compressing the steel's surface with high-velocity steel pellets, increasing the spring's tensile strength. This advanced treatment is key to achieving good wheel travel and a comfortable ride without sacrificing the spring's lifespan.

What sets these Softride springs apart is their design. Unlike some other springs that use tight 'C' style clips which can cause binding and friction between the leaves, these use bolt-style clips. This helps reduce friction and allows the spring to work more freely. The leaves themselves are tapered over their entire length, creating more flex at the ends. This tapering helps distribute loads 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 durability.
