The Skyjacker Leaf Spring for 1985-1986 Chevrolet Blazer K5 is a high-performance suspension component designed to enhance load capacity and ride quality. Constructed from American steel, these Softride springs feature shot-peened individual leafs, which increase tensile strength and durability. The shot-peening process involves bombarding the steel surface with hard steel pellets at high velocities, compressing the surface and extending spring life. Additionally, the springs utilize bolt-style spring clips that eliminate friction, reducing binding and improving flex. The tapering design throughout the length of the leaf creates more flex at the ends, distributing loads evenly and minimizing leaf dig-in, resulting in improved wheel travel and overall ride performance.

This leaf spring is specifically engineered for 1985-1986 Chevrolet Blazer K5 models, fitting vehicles with compatible chassis and suspension setups. It serves as a direct replacement or upgrade for stock springs, suitable for off-road, towing, or heavy-duty applications where enhanced durability and load handling are desired. Installation involves replacing existing springs with these bolt-on units, ensuring a straightforward upgrade process. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs designed to provide increased flex and load distribution, making them ideal for off-road enthusiasts or those seeking improved suspension performance on their Chevrolet Blazer K5.

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.
