Overview

A Dodge pickup owner from the listed years gets a Softride leaf spring made of shot-peened American steel. The leaves taper toward their ends, and bolt style clips replace bent cinch clips.

Skyjacker ties this spring to a specific older Dodge application, which narrows the fit check. The axle position is unknown in the data and the included row reads auto parts, so the buyer has to confirm both.

Who it's for

A restorer or off-road builder working on a listed Dodge pickup can match the part number to the set name. Buyers who do not know which axle the spring serves should ask the seller, because the listing does not say.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Dodge pickup application named
  • Tall lift range
  • Shot-peened American steel
  • Bolt style clips
Cons
  • Position listed as unknown
  • Included parts say auto parts
  • Title range wording is loose
  • Hardware not mentioned

Performance notes

Shot-peening compresses the steel surface to raise strength, and the tapering lets the leaves flex over a longer stretch. Bolt style clips remove the binding that cinch clips can add, which supports wheel travel.
