The Skyjacker 6" Softride front springs are high-performance suspension components designed for 1973-1987 General Motors trucks and SUVs. Constructed from American steel, these springs feature individual leafs that are shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocities, which enhances their tensile strength and durability. The shot-peening process compresses the steel surface, allowing for increased wheel travel and improved ride quality without compromising spring life. Additionally, the springs utilize bolt-style spring clips, eliminating friction and binding issues common with other designs. The tapering of the springs along their entire length promotes more flex at the leaf ends, distributing loads evenly and reducing the risk of leaf dig-in, resulting in a smoother, more controlled ride.

Designed specifically for 1973-1987 GM trucks and SUVs, these springs are a direct replacement for the front suspension. They are ideal for off-road use, lifting applications, or enhancing load-carrying capacity while maintaining ride quality. The kit includes the necessary components for installation, ensuring a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. Compatible with vehicles within the specified year range and chassis, these springs provide increased performance and longevity for demanding driving conditions. They are suited for off-road enthusiasts, daily drivers, and anyone seeking reliable suspension enhancement for their GM vehicle.

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.
