Skyjacker Leaf Spring 1997-1997 Ford F-250 HD 4 Wheel Drive

Skyjacker is known for making suspension components that can handle tough jobs. This Softride leaf spring is built for your 1980-1998 Ford F-250, specifically for the HD 4-wheel drive models. It's designed to replace your worn-out original spring, helping to restore your truck's load capacity and ride quality.

What sets these springs apart is the material and how they're treated. They're constructed using American steel, and each leaf goes through a shot-peening process. This involves blasting the steel with hard pellets at high speeds, which compresses the surface. This compression increases the steel's tensile strength, allowing for more wheel travel and a better ride without sacrificing the spring's lifespan. Unlike other designs that use clips which can cause binding, these Softride springs use bolt-style clips to reduce friction. The leaves are also tapered along their entire length, creating more flex at the ends. This design helps distribute loads more evenly and prevents one leaf from digging into the one above it.

This spring is built as a progressive multi-leaf pack, meaning its load capacity will be equal to or greater than the original equipment. It's a solid option if you're looking to replace a damaged or fatigued leaf spring on your F-250.
