About this part

Softride 4-Inch Rear Leaf Spring, fitment-checked

A Softride rear leaf spring for the leaf-sprung CJ platform, at 3.5-4 in. Coverage is the CJ5 from 1976-1983, the CJ7 from 1976-1986 and the Scrambler from 1981-1985. Sold singly.

The CJ ran for a decade with the same rear leaf arrangement, which is why one spring covers the CJ5 through 1983, the CJ7 through 1986 and the Scrambler from 1981-1985. Skyjacker rates it at 3.5-4 in. and lists it under Softride, their more compliant spring line — worth having on a short-wheelbase Jeep, which rides harshly enough as it is. It ships as a single spring at 30 lb boxed, so a rear axle takes two.
