The Skyjacker Leaf Spring for 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 is a high-performance suspension component designed to enhance ride quality and wheel travel. Constructed with American steel, these Softride springs feature individual leafs that are shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocities, increasing tensile strength and durability. The tapering along the entire length of each leaf allows for more flex at the ends, promoting even load distribution and reducing the risk of leaf binding. Bolt-style spring clips are used to eliminate friction and binding issues common with other designs, resulting in smoother operation and longer spring life. These springs are engineered to optimize suspension performance, especially in off-road or heavy-duty applications, by providing increased flex and load distribution.

Designed for 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 models, these springs are a direct replacement for the stock suspension components. They are suitable for off-road enthusiasts and those seeking improved ride quality and wheel articulation. Installation involves replacing the existing leaf springs with these bolt-on units, which are compatible with the original mounting points. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs and clips, ensuring a straightforward upgrade. Ideal for off-road driving, daily use, or heavy loads, these springs deliver enhanced durability, flexibility, and load-carrying capacity for rugged Jeep CJ7 applications.

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.
