▶ Vehicle Fitments
The Skyjacker Leaf Spring for 1968 GMC K15/K1500 is a performance suspension component designed to enhance ride quality and load distribution. Constructed with American steel, these Softride springs feature shot-peened individual leafs, which increase tensile strength and durability. The shot-peening process compresses the steel surface with high-velocity steel pellets, allowing for maximum wheel travel and improved ride comfort without compromising spring lifespan. Additionally, the springs utilize bolt-style spring clips that eliminate friction, unlike traditional bend clips that can cause binding. The tapering design along the entire length of the leaf creates more flex at the ends, distributing loads evenly and reducing the risk of leaf dig-in, resulting in a more responsive and longer-lasting suspension.
This leaf spring is specifically designed for 1968 GMC K15 and K1500 models, fitting vehicles from that year range with compatible chassis and suspension setups. It serves as a direct replacement or upgrade for stock springs, suitable for off-road, towing, or daily driving applications where enhanced load handling and ride quality are desired. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs with the specified part number C240S, ensuring proper fitment and performance. Ideal for restoring or improving vintage trucks, these springs provide increased flexibility, strength, and longevity for demanding driving conditions.

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.
