The Skyjacker Softride leaf springs for 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance wheel travel and ride quality. Constructed from American steel, each leaf is shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocities, increasing tensile strength and durability. This shot-peening process ensures maximum spring life and optimal performance by preventing surface fatigue. The springs feature bolt-style spring clips that eliminate friction, unlike traditional bend clips that can cause binding and reduce flex. Additionally, the springs taper along their entire length, allowing for more flex at the leaf ends. This design distributes loads more evenly across the leaf pack, reducing the risk of one leaf digging into the one above it and improving overall suspension response.

These springs are a direct fit for 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ models, suitable for off-road and daily driving applications. They are engineered to provide increased wheel travel and ride comfort while maintaining spring longevity. Installation involves replacing the existing leaf springs with these bolt-on units, offering a straightforward upgrade for improved suspension performance. Compatible with stock or lifted suspensions, these springs are ideal for off-road enthusiasts seeking enhanced flex and load distribution. The kit includes the necessary leaf springs and clips, ensuring a complete replacement for your vehicle’s suspension system.

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.
