The Skyjacker 2-2.5" Softr Rear springs for 1955-1975 Jeep CJ models are high-performance leaf springs designed to enhance ride quality and wheel travel. Constructed from American steel, each leaf is shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocities, which compresses the surface and increases tensile strength. This process ensures maximum durability and flexibility, allowing for improved load distribution and reduced leaf binding. The springs feature bolt-style spring clips that eliminate friction, unlike traditional bend clips, resulting in smoother operation and longer spring life. The tapering design along the entire length of each leaf provides more flex at the ends, promoting even load sharing and reducing the risk of leaf digging into adjacent leaves, thereby enhancing overall suspension performance.
These springs are a direct replacement for the rear suspension on 1955-1975 Jeep CJ models. They are suitable for off-road, daily driving, and performance applications, offering increased wheel travel and ride comfort. Installation involves replacing the existing leaf springs with these bolt-on units, which are engineered to fit specific vehicle dimensions and chassis configurations. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs and mounting hardware, ensuring a straightforward upgrade. Designed for off-road enthusiasts and those seeking improved suspension durability, these Softride springs deliver enhanced flex, load distribution, and longevity for rugged Jeep CJ use.

Overview
Overview
Softride(R) springs use only American steel and the individual leafs of each spring are shot-peened with hard steel pellets at very high velocities. This shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel thereby increasing the tensile strength of the spring. Without this shot-peening procedure, the maximum wheel travel and ride quality could not be achieved without sacrificing the life of the spring. Softride(R) springs use bolt style spring clips, eliminating friction. Other spring designs use the c in. style bend clips which bend tightly over the spring leafs causing binding and friction. Skyjacker(R) Softride(R) springs taper over the entire length 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.
