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

Shot-peening is a process where the spring is bombarded with small steel pellets at high velocity. This strengthens the metal surface, making the leaf spring more resistant to cracking and fatigue over time, which helps extend its lifespan.

How do the tapered leaves and Teflon pads improve the ride?

Tapered leaves get thinner towards the ends, allowing for more controlled flex and better load distribution. The Teflon pads between the leaves, along with bolt-style clips, prevent friction and binding, allowing the suspension to move more smoothly and comfortably.

Does this leaf spring come with all necessary hardware for installation?

This product is for the leaf spring only. Installation hardware, such as bushings and U-bolts, is typically sold separately and should be checked for compatibility with your specific vehicle and lift height.

Product Details

This is the Skyjacker 2-inch Softride rear leaf spring, designed specifically for the International Scout II. If you're looking to replace worn-out rear springs or want to achieve a 2-inch lift, this part will help get your Scout back on the road with improved ride quality and capability.

Skyjacker uses a process called shot-peening on these springs, which involves hitting them with hard steel pellets at high speeds. This makes the metal stronger and more resistant to fatigue. The springs also feature tapered leaves, meaning they get thinner towards the ends. This design helps distribute the load more evenly across the spring and allows for more flex at the ends, which contributes to a smoother ride. You'll also find Teflon wear pads between the leaves and bolt-style spring clips. These are important because they prevent the leaves from binding against each other and eliminate friction, allowing the suspension to move more freely.

With these features combined, you can expect better wheel travel and a more comfortable ride compared to stock springs. The construction is built to last, giving you a solid option for your Scout II's rear suspension.
