Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for ride quality, handling safety, and component longevity. Calculate your constant load by weighing all permanently fitted accessories including canopy or tub, drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, toolboxes, fridges, and recovery gear. Do not include occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, or towing weight in your calculation. Common rear accessories for Hilux N80 builds include aluminium canopies (80-120kg), steel canopies (120-180kg), drawer systems (60-100kg), dual battery and inverter setups (30-50kg), long-range fuel tanks (40kg empty), and fridges with mounting slides (25-40kg). If your total constant rear load is under 100kg, select the medium or parabolic option; for 100-280kg choose heavy duty; and for 280-450kg select super heavy duty. Over-springing causes harsh ride, premature shock wear, and reduced traction; under-springing leads to sagging, bottoming out, and poor handling.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD mechanic is strongly recommended due to the safety-critical nature of suspension components and the need for spring tensioning, torque specifications, and correct shackle orientation. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to ensure correct toe, camber, and caster settings — misalignment accelerates tyre wear and compromises handling. All Dobinsons leaf springs require a 500km break-in period during which spring arch will settle and ride quality will improve as components mate and bushes bed in. For vehicles with 50mm rear lift, consider pairing with upgraded front control arms to restore caster angle, improve steering feel, and maintain CV joint angles within factory tolerances.
Dobinsons has been engineering suspension solutions for Australian conditions since 1953, with extensive outback testing across Cape York, the Simpson Desert, the Canning Stock Route, and High Country alpine trails. Every leaf spring is manufactured to exceed OEM specifications using heat-treated alloy steel, precision arch forming, and multi-stage quality control. Dobinsons products are trusted by touring families, grey nomads, emergency services, mining operators, and outback station owners who demand reliability in remote locations. View the full Dobinsons suspension range including monotube shocks, coil springs, and complete lift kits engineered to work as integrated systems.
These leaf springs suit Toyota Hilux N80 owners who carry consistent rear payload from canopies, tools, camping gear, or water tanks and need a suspension upgrade that matches their exact load profile. Weekend tourers with lightweight setups benefit from the parabolic or medium-duty options for comfort-oriented ride quality. Tradespeople, farmers, and contractors carrying heavy toolboxes, welders, or equipment require the heavy-duty or super heavy-duty configurations for load control and durability. Caravan and camper trailer towers should pair appropriate spring rates with airbag suspension for variable load adjustment and enhanced towing stability on long highway journeys.
All Dobinsons leaf springs are in stock at our Australian warehouse with fast dispatch to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, regional NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and remote locations.

These Dobinsons leaf springs are specifically engineered for Toyota Hilux N80 models from 2015 onwards, covering all body styles including single cab, extra cab, and dual cab variants. They are designed as direct OEM replacements with correct spring eye spacing, mounting dimensions, and arch profiles. If you have a pre-2015 Hilux (N70 series) or a 2023+ facelift model with modified suspension points, please confirm fitment by contacting our team or checking your vehicle's compliance plate. These springs are rear-only; front suspension upgrades are sold separately.
Dobinsons offers two lift height options for the Hilux N80: 25mm lift (L59-039-R heavy-duty configuration) or 50mm lift (four configurations including parabolic, medium, heavy, and super heavy-duty). Actual installed lift height varies based on your vehicle's current payload, accessory weight, and spring selection. The 50mm lift is most popular for touring and off-road builds as it provides clearance for 32-33 inch tyres without rubbing. The 25mm option suits lighter builds or owners seeking modest height gain with maximum load capacity.
Each kit contains two complete Dobinsons rear leaf springs in your selected configuration, four heavy-duty U-bolts for secure axle clamping, a complete set of polyethylene bushes for front and rear spring eyes, two greasable shackles, and two greasable pins. All necessary hardware for rear leaf spring installation is included. This kit does not include front springs, shock absorbers, extended brake lines, bump stops, or upper control arms — these components are sold separately and may be required depending on your lift height and vehicle setup.
Yes, when correctly matched to your constant rear payload. The heavy-duty (280kg) and super heavy-duty (450kg) configurations are well-suited to towing applications, providing enhanced load control and reduced rear squat under ball weight. However, leaf springs alone do not adjust for variable towing loads — we strongly recommend pairing your spring upgrade with airbag suspension for on-demand load leveling and adjustable ride height. Calculate your constant accessory weight first (canopy, drawers, water, etc.), then select springs accordingly — do not factor towing weight into spring rate selection as this is an occasional load best managed with airbags.
Front upper control arms are not strictly required for rear leaf spring upgrades, but if you are installing the 50mm lift option and also lifting the front with taller coil springs, upgraded control arms become highly recommended. A 50mm total vehicle lift can alter front caster angle, reduce steering self-centering, and push CV joints toward their maximum operating angles. Aftermarket control arms with correction geometry restore factory-like steering feel and extend CV joint life. Rear leaf springs do not directly affect control arm angles, but a balanced front-to-rear lift requires consideration of complete suspension geometry.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any suspension lift or component replacement. While rear leaf springs primarily affect ride height rather than alignment angles, the change in rear suspension geometry can subtly alter thrust angle and affect front toe settings. More importantly, if you are also lifting the front or have replaced other suspension components, camber, caster, and toe must be reset to manufacturer specifications. Driving without post-installation alignment accelerates tyre wear, causes steering pull, and compromises handling safety. Budget for professional alignment as part of your total installation cost.
You must select one spring rate configuration at the time of purchase based on your consistent, permanent rear payload. Dobinsons offers five distinct configurations ranging from 100kg to 450kg constant load capacity, allowing you to match springs precisely to your build. Do not select a heavier spring rate hoping for versatility — over-sprung vehicles deliver harsh ride quality, reduced traction, and premature shock absorber wear. If your payload varies significantly (for example, empty during weekdays and loaded for weekend touring), consider the medium-duty option paired with airbag suspension for on-demand load adjustment and ride height control.
The 50mm lift configurations provide clearance for 32 to 33 inch tyres on the Hilux N80 without major cutting or trimming, though minor guard trimming or aftermarket flares may be required depending on wheel offset and tyre width. The 25mm lift option suits 31 inch tyres comfortably. Tyre fitment also depends on your front lift height, wheel offset (backspacing), and suspension travel under compression. For aggressive tyre sizes or wide offset wheels, you may require additional modifications such as diff drop brackets, extended bump stops, or upper control arms. Always test fit and check clearance at full steering lock and full suspension compression before committing to a tyre size.
Dobinsons leaf springs are covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, with warranty duration varying by component (typically 12-24 months depending on product line and usage type). Warranty terms require professional installation, correct torque specifications, appropriate spring rate selection for your payload, and proof of purchase. Warranty does not cover wear items, incorrect installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, or damage from accidents or misuse. For specific warranty details and claims procedures, contact 4WD Suspension Australia or refer to the warranty documentation included with your kit.
Absolutely — Dobinsons leaf springs are engineered to deliver a balanced combination of on-road comfort and off-road capability, making them ideal for dual-purpose vehicles used for daily commuting and weekend touring. The parabolic comfort option (L59-047-RP) is specifically designed for lightly loaded Hilux builds prioritising ride comfort on sealed roads. Medium and heavy-duty configurations provide slightly firmer ride quality but remain comfortable for daily use when correctly matched to your constant payload. Super heavy-duty springs are best suited to heavily loaded work vehicles or serious off-road tourers. For optimal daily driving performance, pair your springs with quality shock absorbers matched to your spring rate and driving style.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted these Dobinsons leaf springs to our 2018 Hilux before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference was immediately noticeable. The ride is so much smoother on corrugated tracks now, and the kids actually stopped complaining about getting bounced around in the back. Load-carrying capacity has improved heaps too – no more sagging when we've got the camper trailer and all our gear loaded up. Highly recommend for anyone doing regular touring with the family.(5)
Finally springs that handle the Canning Stock
These Dobinsons leaf springs have completely transformed my N80 Hilux for serious remote work. Just finished a full Cape York run with 300kg constant load and they handled the corrugations and creek crossings without any of the sag or harshness my old setup had. Ride quality is noticeably better both loaded and empty, which matters when you're doing 800km days on bulldust. Worth every cent if you're actually using your truck in the outback.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Loaded Hilux
Fitted these Dobinsons leaf springs to our 2017 Hilux before our last trip down the coast and the difference was night and day. We loaded up the camper trailer, eskies, and all the kids' gear without any of that awful sagging we used to get with the factory setup. The ride quality on corrugated tracks was genuinely better than expected, and they handled everything from beach sand to the fire trails up in the high country. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular family camping trips.(5)
Best upgrade I've done to the Hilux
Been running these Dobinsons leaf springs on my 2018 Hilux for about 6 months now and they've completely transformed how she handles with a full load of tools and materials. Ride quality is heaps better than stock, even when empty, and they've handled everything from daily site work to a few beach runs without any dramas. Fitment was spot on and haven't had any sag even with constant heavy loads.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Loaded Hilux
Fitted these Dobinsons leaf springs to our 2018 Hilux before our recent trip up to the High Country and what a difference they've made. The rear end no longer sags when we've got the camper trailer hitched up and all the kids' gear loaded in the tray. Ride quality is noticeably better on corrugated roads too, and the install was straightforward enough for my local mechanic to sort in a few hours.(5)
