Overview

The Skyjacker J40FS is a front leaf spring designed for Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Scrambler models from 1976 to 1986. It provides a lift height of 3.5 to 4 inches. The Softride springs are constructed from American steel and feature shot-peened individual leafs to increase tensile strength and enhance wheel travel and ride quality. They also utilize bolt-style spring clips to eliminate friction and taper over their entire length for more flex at the ends, distributing loads evenly.
Show original supplier description

Part #: J40FS

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.
