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.This Part Fits: Year Make Model Submodel 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5 Base 1977-1980 Jeep CJ5 Golden Eagle 1980-1983 Jeep CJ5 Laredo 1982-1983 Jeep CJ5 Limited 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5 Renegade 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 Base 1977-1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle 1980 Jeep CJ7 Golden Hawk 1980-1983,1985-1986 Jeep CJ7 Laredo 1982-1983 Jeep CJ7 Limited 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 Renegade 1981-1985 Jeep Scrambler Base 1985 Jeep Scrambler Laredo 1985 Jeep Scrambler Renegade 1982-1983 Jeep Scrambler SL 1982-1984 Jeep Scrambler SR
