SKYJACKER
LEAF SPRINGS
 Skyjacker's
Softride Springs use only American steel and the individual
leafs of each spring are shotpeened with hard steel
pellets at very high velocities. This shotpeening compresses
the surface of the steel thereby increasing the tensile
strength of the spring. Without this shotpeening procedure,
the maximum wheel travel and ride quality could not
be achieved without sacrificing the life of the spring.
Softride
springs use "bolt" style spring clips, eliminating
friction. Other spring designs use the "cinch"
style bend clips which bend tightly over the spring
leafs causing binding and friction. Skyjacker Softride
springs taper over the entire width of the leaf creating
more flex at the leaf ends. This tapering distributes
loads more evenly over a greater area and reduces the
tendency for one leaf to dig into the leaf above it.
Also
available are Fitted Leafs. Fitted Leafs are designed
as an option exclusively for Skyjacker Softride Lifted
Leaf Springs. These are used when the additional weight
of aftermarket accessories are installed such as a heavy
winch bumper, an engine conversion, a swing-away tire
carrier, all your extra gear, etc. For info. on Fitted
Leafs, Click Here.
