Overview
The Skyjacker FLFR54 is a rear fitted add-a-leaf, a helper leaf that supports the main spring. It is designed to work exclusively with Skyjacker Softride lifted leaf springs and is sold in pairs with bushings not included.
It addresses springs that sag under added weight, such as a heavy duty bumper, winch, tire carrier, snow plow or engine conversion. Check the year, model and trim against your vehicle before ordering.
Key features
- Designed for Skyjacker Softride lifted leaf springs
- Fitted design for rear use
- Meant for sagging springs under added weight
- Sold in pairs
Helper leaves and sag
A helper leaf sits above or beside the main spring and takes some of the load when the pack is under weight. When a spring sags, the rear sits lower, the axle angle changes and the ride can feel harsh over bumps. Helper leaves can restore some of that height and support, but they work best when the main spring and bushings are in good shape.
Before adding a helper leaf, check the main spring for cracks, broken leaves or a permanently set arch. Look at the shackles and eye bushings too. Weight at the rear, such as a bumper or winch, is often the root cause, so review how much the rear carries before deciding whether the helper leaf is the right fix.
- Check main leaves for cracks or breaks
- Inspect shackles and eye bushings
- Review the weight carried at the rear
