Softride 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 springs use bolt style spring clips, eliminating friction. Other spring designs use the cinch style bend clips which bend tightly over the spring leafs causing binding and friction. Skyjacker Softride 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.

Awesome on my 92 Ranger
Installed on my 92 Ford Ranger. Went on easy. Replaced my very old very bad stock ones and 3" block combination. Doesn't come with U-bolts so if you need new ones like I did check your local auto store. But, great buy, highly recommended!

perfect spring rate
Nice soft ride and great offroad capabilities much better than the rough country springs that I replaced them with, keep in mind these state 4 inch lift but that is with using the stock 2 inch lift block
