This BDS Suspension BDS001409 Leaf Spring for the GMC Pickup 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton is shot-peened, increasing tensile strength and reducing fatigue while lessening the material thickness required. The thinner material provided in this kit allows for increased wheel travel and provides a softer ride. Anti friction pads are placed between the leaves, reducing friction within the spring and noise from the metal to metal contact, improving the longevity of the springs. Tapered and roll pointed leaves add flexibility and provide an even deflection rate. Tapering also allows for a smoother transition between leaves as compression takes place, resulting in a softer ride with increased wheel travel. Bolt style leaf alignment clamps prevent leaves from fanning out and allow the leaves to twist and flex, yielding higher articulation. Each spring uses hydraulic stress to reduce fatigue in the steel, preventing sagging.
