The Skyjacker Leaf Spring for 1987-1988 Chevrolet V20 Suburban 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 preventing premature wear. The springs utilize bolt-style spring clips, eliminating friction and binding issues common with other designs. Tapered along their entire length, these springs allow for more flex at the leaf ends, distributing loads evenly and reducing the risk of leaf dig-in, resulting in improved wheel travel and ride comfort.

Designed specifically for 1987-1988 Chevrolet V20 Suburban models, these springs are a direct replacement for the stock leaf springs. They are suitable for off-road, towing, and heavy-duty applications where enhanced suspension performance is desired. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on components, fitting the stock chassis and axle configurations. These springs are ideal for drivers seeking increased load-carrying capacity and improved ride quality in demanding conditions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance under heavy loads or off-road use.

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.
