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

Shot-peening is a process where the steel is blasted with hard pellets at high velocity. This compresses the surface of the steel, increasing its tensile strength. For these springs, it means they are more durable and can offer improved wheel travel and ride quality without wearing out prematurely.

What makes the Softride spring design different from other leaf springs?

Softride springs taper over their entire length, which helps distribute loads more evenly and reduces friction between the leaves. They also use bolt-style spring clips, which eliminate binding and friction that can occur with other designs like C-style clips.

Is this a complete lift kit, or do I need other parts?

This is a lift kit component, meaning it's a single part of a larger system. Other parts will be required to install a complete lift kit on your Jeep Wrangler.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler a bit more ground clearance or replace worn-out springs, this Skyjacker Softride leaf spring is a solid option. These springs are built with American steel and undergo a shot-peening process. This involves blasting the steel with hard pellets at high speeds, which compresses the surface and increases the spring's tensile strength. This makes the spring more durable and allows for better wheel travel and a smoother ride without sacrificing longevity.

Skyjacker's Softride springs also feature a unique design where the leaves taper over their entire length. This tapering helps distribute loads more evenly across the spring and reduces friction between the leaves. Unlike some other designs that use C-style clips which can cause binding, these springs use bolt-style clips to eliminate friction. This attention to detail in construction means you get a more comfortable ride and improved performance off-road.

Keep in mind that this is a component for a lift kit, so other parts will be needed to complete a full installation. This leaf spring is designed to meet or exceed original equipment load capacity.
