Upgrade your Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series with premium suspension components engineered for Australia's toughest terrain. This page features Toughdog leaf springs, shock absorbers and steering dampers designed specifically for the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser. Whether you're restoring a classic or building a capable tourer, you'll find quality suspension parts with Australia-wide dispatch from our warehouse.
The 40 Series relies on traditional leaf spring suspension front and rear, making spring selection critical for load-carrying ability and ride quality. Toughdog leaf springs are available in various load ratings to suit different builds — from lightly modified daily drivers to heavily equipped touring rigs with bullbars, winches and roof racks. Pairing your leaf springs with quality shock absorbers ensures controlled damping and prevents bottoming out on corrugated tracks, while a return-to-centre steering damper reduces shimmy and improves on-road manners.

Most aftermarket leaf springs for the 40 Series provide a modest lift of 25-50mm over worn factory springs, primarily to restore original ride height and add load capacity. The actual lift achieved depends on your current spring condition and the weight of accessories fitted. If you're running heavy front-end weight like a winch and bullbar, choose a higher load-rated spring pack to maintain ride height and prevent sagging under load.
Yes, a wheel alignment is essential after replacing leaf springs on your 40 Series. New springs will alter ride height and suspension geometry, affecting camber, caster and toe settings. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, straight-line tracking and predictable handling both on-road and off. Most suspension installers include an alignment check as part of the fitting process.
Toughdog is a proven choice for the 40 Series, offering well-engineered leaf springs and shock absorbers designed for Australian conditions. Their components are manufactured to exacting standards and provide excellent value for touring and general 4WD use. Toughdog's range includes multiple load ratings, allowing you to match spring capacity to your specific build and typical payload requirements.
