Most pickup trucks and sports utility vehicles still utilize leaf springs for the rear suspension. Rear springs are simple and easy to adjust and they serve the dual functions of shock absorber and spring. As shock absorber, leaf springs cushion the compressive force of vibrations or vehicle body oscillations. On the other hand, as spring, leaf springs allow the rebound and dissipation of the force of vibrations.
In this manner leaf springs dampen the vibrations and maintain good vehicle handling. The damping capacity of leaf springs can be adjusted by simply reducing or increasing the number of leaf spring layers. Leaf springs are bolted together by U-bolts that act as clamps. In lowering your sports utility vehicle or pickup truck, you may use a Trailmaster axle U-bolt kit to make adjustments on the leaf springs.
