Features, Description, Q&A, Specs & Installation
Smoother Control. The BDS Glide-Ride Rear Leaf Spring is engineered to deliver confident handling and ride quality for 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 models. Designed for vehicles with 2.50 inches of lift, it serves as a direct replacement that improves stability, braking composure, and traction under load. This component is an essential upgrade when refreshing worn suspension parts, restoring authority over body motion without sacrificing everyday drivability.
Construction and Appearance. Built around a multi-leaf progressive design, this spring manages small bumps with compliance while ramping support as loads increase. Anti-friction pads help each leaf move smoothly, cutting noise and harshness and contributing to a more controlled response. The architecture is tuned to reduce axle wrap, preserving driveline geometry and traction on acceleration and braking. Finished in a matte black coating for understated durability, it retains maintained factory payload weight ratings to keep hauling capability intact.
Installation. As a direct replacement, the process is straightforward with common shop tools: support the axle, relieve spring tension, and transfer hardware as needed. The unique design supports versatile installation, aligning with OE-style mounts to simplify positioning and shackle angle setup. Finalize by evenly torquing fasteners at ride height, checking bushing preload, and verifying clearance around brake lines, shocks, and U-bolts for a quiet, long-term result.
Application. This BDS Glide-Ride Rear Leaf Spring fits 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 models. It elevates composure and confidence by curbing axle wrap and sharpening response, lending a smoother, more settled ride on pavement and rough roads alike.
