Overview

On a truck with leaf springs, this Skyjacker Softride spring replaces the original with American steel leaves that taper along their full length. Bolt style clips hold the leaves together instead of bent clips.

Skyjacker explains the build in detail, with shot-peening for strength and tapered leaves for flex. The listing leaves out the vehicle, the axle position and what the title range measures, so those have to be confirmed.

Who it's for

A truck owner replacing or building a leaf pack on a lifted setup can use the part number and the tapered design to plan the job. Buyers who need a complete kit or a listed vehicle fit should ask the seller first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Shot-peened American steel
  • Tapered leaves for flex
  • Bolt style clips reduce friction
  • Part number is clear
Cons
  • Vehicle fit not listed
  • Axle position listed as unknown
  • Title range is not explained
  • Hardware not mentioned

Performance notes

Shot-peening compresses the steel surface, which raises strength and lets the spring flex further without early wear. Tapered leaves spread load over a wider area, and bolt style clips avoid the binding that bent clips can cause.
