Tough Dog raised front leaf springs for the Nissan Patrol MQ/MK (09/1980 - 1988), approximately 40mm of lift, sold per pair. Up to Steel Bar (BPN-007) or With Bar and Winch (BPN-007H).
Add U-bolts, greasable shackles and pins or the urethane bush kit from the options below.
These are progressive-rate packs – every leaf sits in contact along its full length with the leaf above, which is what keeps the unladen ride tolerable on a working ute.
Two-stage packs carry a lighter primary stage for everyday ride quality, with heavier second-stage leaves that only come into play as the load goes on – that's what stops the rear sagging with a canopy, tools or a camper on the back. Choose the rating by the constant load the vehicle carries, counting only permanent weight.
The matching U-bolts, greasable shackles and pins, and bush kits are available from the option dropdowns on this page – if the originals have been on since new, replace them while the pack is out rather than reusing stretched U-bolts.
Doing the whole vehicle at once? We also stock the matching rear Shock Absorbers and steering Damper for the Nissan Patrol MQ-MK 1980-1988.
Pair with Tough Dog front shocks.
