Our verdict

A rear add-a-leaf pair that is pre-drilled for the center pin. The listing gives no lift height or vehicle fit, so confirm both with Skyjacker before ordering.

Overview

A truck owner with leaf springs at the back can add this Skyjacker leaf to the pack to change the stance. It is made of shot-peened American steel, and its long tapered ends are meant to give a progressive feel.

Skyjacker describes the build in detail, from shot-peening to the pre-drilled center pin. What the buyer does not get is a lift figure, a vehicle list or install steps, so those must come from the seller.

Who it's for

A truck owner adding to a rear spring pack who already knows the matching part number can use the dimensions to check clearance. Buyers who want a stated lift amount should ask Skyjacker first, because the listing gives none.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pair with tie bolt
  • Pre-drilled for center pin
  • Long tapered ends
Cons
  • Lift height not listed
  • Vehicle fit not stated
  • Pin location varies by application
  • Install steps not included

Performance notes

An add-a-leaf adds thickness to the pack, and the long tapered ends let the load build progressively for a smoother ride. Shot-peening compresses the steel surface to raise strength, and pin location has to match the existing pack.
