Description

Overview

The Skyjacker J20RS is a rear Softride leaf spring for Jeep CJ5 models from 1976 to 1983, CJ7 models from 1976 to 1986 and Scrambler models from 1981 to 1985. Skyjacker lists it for a lift height range of 0 to 4.99 inches and specifies use with 2.5 inch lifted springs.

The spring is made from American steel, and the brand states that each leaf is shot-peened to increase tensile strength. Skyjacker presents that treatment as the reason the spring can deliver its full wheel travel and ride quality. Bushings are not included, so plan for them separately.
