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 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
