The Skyjacker Leaf Spring for 1979-1986 GMC K3500 Pickup is a high-performance suspension component designed to enhance load-carrying capacity and ride quality. Constructed with American steel, these Softride springs feature shot-peened individual leafs, which increase tensile strength and durability. The tapering design throughout the length of the leaf creates more flex at the ends, promoting even load distribution and reducing the risk of leaf binding. Bolt-style spring clips eliminate friction points, ensuring smoother operation and longer spring life. This advanced construction results in improved wheel travel, better handling, and increased longevity, making it an ideal upgrade for demanding off-road or heavy-duty applications.
Designed specifically for 1979-1986 GMC K3500 pickups, these springs are a direct replacement for stock leaf springs. They are suitable for vehicles used in towing, hauling, or off-road driving, where enhanced suspension performance is critical. The bolt-on installation allows for straightforward replacement, providing a reliable upgrade without extensive modifications. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs and clips, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation. These springs are engineered to deliver superior flex and load distribution, making them well-suited for both daily driving and rugged off-road use.

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.
