Softride(R) springs are made from 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.

Bolt style spring clips are used by Softride(R) springs, 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 fits Leaf, creating more flex at the fits Leaf ends.

This tapering distributes loads more evenly over a greater area and reduces the tendency for one fits Leaf to dig into the fits Leaf above it.
