The Skyjacker Leaf Spring for 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5 is a high-performance suspension component designed to enhance ride quality and durability. Constructed using American steel, these Softride springs feature individual leafs that are shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocities, increasing surface compressive strength and tensile durability. The tapering design throughout the length of each leaf allows for more flex at the ends, promoting even load distribution and reducing the risk of leaf binding. The bolt-style spring clips eliminate friction points common in other designs, resulting in smoother operation and longer spring life. This combination of features ensures maximum wheel travel and improved ride comfort, especially under demanding off-road or load-carrying conditions.
Designed specifically for 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5 models, these springs are a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock suspension. They are suitable for off-road enthusiasts, daily drivers, or anyone seeking increased load capacity and ride quality. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs with the innovative tapering and clip design, ensuring easy installation and reliable performance. Compatible with Jeep CJ5s equipped with the appropriate chassis and suspension setup, these springs are ideal for enhancing off-road capability or restoring factory ride characteristics. They serve as a durable upgrade for vehicles used in off-road, towing, or heavy-duty applications.

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.
