Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. Your choice should be based on constant load only — this is the combined weight of accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads or towing capacity. Common rear constant loads include dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, canopies, tool boxes, compressors, dual spare wheels, and permanently mounted water tanks. Calculate your total accessory weight and select the spring rate that matches your constant payload: 100kg for light touring setups, 150kg for moderate work/touring configurations, or 300kg for heavy trade or expedition vehicles with maximum permanent equipment.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct spring orientation, torque specifications and ride height adjustment. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain steering geometry. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and bushings to seat properly before final ride height assessment. For vehicles with 4-inch lift configurations, consider upgrading to extended control arms to restore optimal suspension geometry and maximize articulation. Complete your suspension upgrade with matched steering dampers for improved on-road stability and reduced bump steer.

These Dobinsons leaf springs are specifically engineered for Toyota LandCruiser 78 and 79 Series Troop Carrier Dual Cab models manufactured from September 1999 onwards. They are designed for rear fitment only and will not suit single cab, wagon or other body configurations. Before ordering, confirm your vehicle's build date and body type to ensure correct fitment. If you're unsure about compatibility or have a unique configuration, our suspension specialists can verify fitment details for your specific vehicle.
This kit offers two distinct lift height options depending on your chosen configuration. The parabolic TOY-090-RP spring provides approximately 3 inches (75mm) of lift with a 100kg constant load rating, while the standard duty TOY-200-R and TOY-201-R springs both deliver approximately 4 inches (100mm) of lift with 150kg and 300kg constant load ratings respectively. Actual lift height may vary slightly depending on your vehicle's existing accessories and total payload. The increased ground clearance improves approach and departure angles while accommodating larger diameter tyres for improved off-road capability.
This complete Dobinsons leaf spring kit includes two rear leaf springs in your selected configuration, plus all necessary hardware for professional installation. You'll receive four heavy-duty U-bolts for secure axle mounting, a complete polyethylene bushing kit for both front and rear spring mounts, two greasable shackles and two greasable pins for long-term serviceability. The greasable components allow for regular maintenance to extend service life and reduce wear. Note that shock absorbers, upper control arms and other suspension components are sold separately and should be matched to your chosen spring rate.
Yes, these Dobinsons leaf springs are specifically designed to handle the demands of towing when correctly matched to your constant load requirements. The key is selecting the appropriate spring rate based on your permanent accessory weight, not your towing capacity. If you frequently tow heavy caravans or camper trailers, consider the 150kg or 300kg constant load options to maintain level ride height and proper suspension geometry under load. For maximum versatility with varying towing loads, these springs can be paired with airbag suspension systems that allow on-the-fly adjustment. Always ensure your total vehicle weight including accessories and trailer ball weight remains within manufacturer specifications.
While not mandatory for the 3-inch parabolic lift option, upgrading to extended control arms is highly recommended when installing the 4-inch lift configurations (TOY-200-R or TOY-201-R). Extended control arms help restore proper suspension geometry at lifted ride heights, reducing CV joint angles and improving wheel alignment settings. This upgrade minimizes premature wear on driveline components and enhances steering response and stability. For maximum suspension performance and articulation, consider a complete suspension package that includes matched control arms, shocks and steering components. Our suspension specialists can recommend the ideal combination for your specific application and budget.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift or spring replacement on your LandCruiser 78 or 79 Series. The increased ride height changes your vehicle's suspension geometry, affecting camber, caster and toe settings across all four wheels. Without proper alignment, you'll experience uneven and accelerated tyre wear, reduced steering precision and potentially compromised handling characteristics. Book your alignment with a qualified 4WD suspension specialist who understands lifted vehicle geometry. Allow the springs to settle through a 500km break-in period before requesting final alignment adjustments for optimal long-term results.
This kit contains rear leaf springs only for the Toyota LandCruiser 78/79 Series Troop Carrier Dual Cab. Front suspension on these vehicles uses coil springs, which are sold separately and should be matched to your front accessory load (bull bars, winches, long-range tanks, etc.). It's essential to select appropriate spring rates for both front and rear based on each end's specific constant load rather than simply matching rates. Your front constant load typically includes bull bars, winches and auxiliary equipment, while rear load comprises drawer systems, canopies, dual batteries and permanent cargo. Calculate each end independently and select spring rates accordingly for balanced ride height and optimal handling characteristics.
Yes, the 3-inch or 4-inch lift provided by these Dobinsons leaf springs significantly improves tyre clearance on your LandCruiser 78 or 79 Series Troop Carrier. Most owners can comfortably run 33-inch tyres with the 3-inch lift and up to 35-inch tyres with the 4-inch configuration, though exact fitment depends on wheel offset, tyre width and any additional body modifications. For maximum clearance during full suspension compression and articulation, you may need minor trimming of plastic guard liners or fitting aftermarket flares. Always test-fit your chosen tyre and wheel combination with full steering lock and suspension compression before committing to off-road use. Larger tyres may also require speedometer recalibration and differential gear ratio considerations.
Dobinsons stands behind their leaf springs with comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period varies by component type and application, with springs typically covered for several years under normal use conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified suspension specialist with all components fitted according to Dobinsons specifications. Keep your installation receipts and service records to validate warranty claims. Note that warranty does not cover damage from accidents, misuse, overloading beyond specified constant load ratings, or failure to maintain proper vehicle alignment and suspension maintenance. Contact us for complete warranty terms and conditions specific to your purchase.
Absolutely — these Dobinsons leaf springs are engineered to deliver excellent ride quality for daily driving while maintaining superior load-carrying capability for work and touring applications. The parabolic 3-inch option (TOY-090-RP) offers the smoothest ride for primarily on-road use with occasional off-road adventures, while the standard 4-inch configurations provide firmer support ideal for tradespeople and heavy tourers. When correctly matched to your constant load, these springs maintain comfortable highway manners without the harsh ride associated with oversprung setups. The quality polyethylene bushings and greasable components minimize noise and vibration for refined on-road behaviour. For best results, pair these springs with premium shock absorbers matched to your specific driving style and load requirements.
Perfect for Heavy Loaded Outback Touring
Been running these Dobinsons leaf springs on my 79 Series for about 18 months now, covering everything from the Simpson Desert to the Cape. The constant load rating handles my drawer system, dual batteries, and water tanks without sagging, and the ride quality is surprisingly good even when unladen. Fitment was spot-on and they've held up brilliantly through some pretty brutal corrugations.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Loaded Troopy
Been running these Dobinsons leaf springs for six months now and they've completely transformed our 79 Series for family camping trips. The parabolic springs handle the weight of our rooftop tent, fridge and all the kids' gear without sagging, plus the ride is actually more comfortable than the old worn-out standard springs. Bit of an investment but absolutely worth it for how often we're out bush, and the blokes at 4WD Suspension were really helpful with choosing the right load rating for our setup.(5)
