Dobinsons heavy-duty leaf springs are purpose-built for the Toyota LandCruiser 78/79 Series Troop Carrier Dual Cab (09/1999-on), sold Australia-wide from local stock. Choose a 3" parabolic lift rated to 100kg constant load, or a 4" standard-leaf option rated to 150kg or 300kg constant load, so the springs match your bull bar, drawers and touring gear. Pair them with longer-travel shock absorbers for a matched suspension package. Backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our Australian team.

Pick the load rating that matches what stays bolted to the vehicle day-to-day, not just what you carry occasionally. The 100kg parabolic option suits lighter setups with a rear bar and basic drawers, while the 150kg or 300kg standard-leaf options suit tourers running dual fuel tanks, water tanks, canopies, winches or a loaded tray. Common accessories to weigh before choosing include bull bars, rear bars and wheel carriers, long-range fuel tanks, canopies or tray bodies, drawer systems, and slide-out fridges.
Fitment should be carried out by a qualified suspension installer or an experienced DIY mechanic with axle-support equipment, given the load these springs carry. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct castor and axle alignment at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the leaves to settle before a final alignment check. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod.
Dobinsons has built suspension components for Australian conditions for decades, with leaf and coil spring ranges tested on local roads rather than imported off the shelf. Every spring pack in this listing is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and stocked here for fast Australian dispatch. Tradespeople and tourers running 78/79 Series Troop Carriers commonly step up to Dobinsons for the load-specific spring rate options — view the full Dobinsons range for matching shocks and coil springs.
This kit suits Troop Carrier owners running fitted-out rear setups — tradies with tray bodies and gear racks, and tourers with drawers, water and long-range fuel. If your rear load varies a lot trip to trip, also look at airbag suspension to add adjustable support on top of the correct leaf spring rate.

Yes, these Dobinsons leaf springs are listed specifically for the Toyota LandCruiser 78/79 Series Troop Carrier Dual Cab built from 09/1999 onward. If your vehicle has had prior suspension modifications, check with our fitment team before ordering to confirm the correct spring pack for your setup. We can also confirm engine and chassis compatibility if you're unsure of your build date.
You can choose a 3" parabolic lift rated to 100kg constant load, or a 4" standard multi-leaf configuration rated to 150kg or 300kg constant load. The lift height achieved depends on the spring rate selected relative to your actual rear-end weight. Our team can help you pick the option that gets you the ride height you want once loaded.
Each order includes a full rear axle set of Dobinsons leaf springs in your chosen configuration, along with spring bushes and centre bolts. U-bolts and shackle hardware are sold separately, as these are often reused or upgraded depending on your current setup. See the Kit Includes list above for the full breakdown.
Yes, the 150kg and 300kg standard multi-leaf options are aimed at Troop Carriers carrying constant rear weight, including towing setups with a loaded tow ball or heavy tray. The 100kg parabolic option is better suited to lighter accessory loads without regular towing. Tell us your typical towing and payload weight and we'll recommend the right rate.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
Yes, a wheel alignment is required after fitting new leaf springs, as ride height and axle position change with the new spring pack. We recommend a check after an initial 500km break-in period once the leaves have settled. Skipping this step can lead to uneven tyre wear over time.
Yes, this listing offers a 3" parabolic option at 100kg constant load, or a 4" standard leaf option at either 150kg or 300kg constant load. Choose the rating based on what you carry day-to-day, not occasional loads. Our team can talk through your accessory list to help you land on the right rate.
The extra height from either the 3" or 4" configuration can create clearance for larger tyres, but actual fitment depends on your wheel offset, tray or canopy width, and whether the front end is lifted to match. We recommend discussing your target tyre size with our fitment team before ordering so the rear and front sit level. Front and rear lift should generally be matched to avoid an uneven stance.
These leaf springs are covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty terms are handled directly through our Australian team, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if an issue comes up. Contact us for the specific warranty period and claims process.
Yes, provided you select the spring rate that matches your actual constant load — an oversprung setup with too little weight on board will ride firm and unsettled on-road. The 100kg parabolic option is generally the more comfortable unladen choice for daily and light-touring use. The 150kg and 300kg options ride best once loaded closer to their rated capacity.
