Smooth Rear Ride Height for Scout II Owners
The Skyjacker S40R Softride rear leaf spring gives International Scout II owners a 4 inch lift while preserving on-road manners. Skyjacker builds Softride springs from American steel, shot-peening each leaf with hard steel pellets to increase tensile strength and allow more wheel travel without shortening spring life. Bolt style spring clips eliminate the friction and binding caused by cinch style bend clips found on other leaf spring designs.
Key Features
- Softride construction using American steel
- Shot-peened leafs for increased tensile strength
- Bolt style spring clips eliminate friction
- Tapered leaf design for more flex at leaf ends
- Even load distribution reduces leaf digging
