The Skyjacker 6" Softride front springs are engineered to provide enhanced suspension performance for classic GM trucks from 1967 to 1972. Constructed from high-quality American steel, each leaf is shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocities, which compresses the surface and significantly increases the tensile strength of the spring. This process ensures maximum wheel travel and improved ride quality while maintaining spring longevity. The springs feature bolt-style spring clips that eliminate friction, unlike traditional bend clips that can cause binding and reduce performance. Tapered along their entire length, these springs distribute loads more evenly across the leafs, offering increased flexibility at the ends and reducing the risk of leaf dig-in, resulting in a smoother, more controlled ride.

Designed specifically for 1967-1972 GM trucks, these springs are a direct bolt-on replacement for the front suspension. They are ideal for off-road, towing, or heavy-duty applications where durability and load distribution are critical. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs and mounting hardware for straightforward installation. Suitable for vehicles used in off-road or heavy-duty settings, these springs enhance suspension travel and ride comfort without sacrificing durability. Proper fitment ensures compatibility with classic GM trucks, making them a reliable upgrade for restoring or improving vehicle performance.

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.
