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.This Part Fits: Year Make Model Submodel 1987-1993 Jeep Wrangler Base 1988-1992 Jeep Wrangler Islander 1987-1990 Jeep Wrangler Laredo 1991-1994 Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande 1988,1991-1994 Jeep Wrangler S 1988-1995 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 1994-1995 Jeep Wrangler SE 1987-1988 Jeep Wrangler Sport
