Opening Hook
Restore ride quality and add a 2 inch lift with the Skyjacker Softride rear leaf spring, engineered specifically for the 1972-1982 International Scout II.
Each leaf is individually shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocity, increasing tensile strength for long-term durability. Tapered leaf ends distribute load more evenly and add flex where it matters most, while bolt-style spring clips and Teflon wear pads between the leaves eliminate the binding and friction found in cinch-clip spring designs.
Key Features
- Individually shot-peened leaves for increased tensile strength and fatigue resistance
- Tapered leaf ends distribute load evenly and add flex at the leaf tips
- Teflon wear pads between leaves reduce friction and prevent binding
- Bolt-style spring clips eliminate the binding common with cinch-style clips
- Delivers a 2 inch lift while maintaining Skyjacker's engineered ride quality

FAQ
How much lift does this leaf spring provide?This Softride leaf spring provides a 2 inch lift over stock ride height.
Why are the leaves shot-peened?Shot-peening compresses the surface of the steel, increasing tensile strength so the spring maintains wheel travel and ride quality without sacrificing service life.
What prevents the leaves from binding against each other?Teflon wear pads are placed between the leaves and bolt-style spring clips are used instead of cinch-style clips, both of which reduce friction and prevent binding.
Is this spring sold individually or as a pair?This listing is for one rear leaf spring. Order two for a complete side-to-side rear replacement.
Will this leaf spring work with my factory shocks?Ride height changes from this 2 inch lift may require shocks sized for the new ride height rather than factory-length shocks.
What is the benefit of the tapered leaf design?The tapered leaf ends distribute load more evenly across the spring and create additional flex at the leaf ends for improved articulation.
