Tough Dog raised rear leaf springs for the leaf-rear Nissan Patrol GQ and GU cab chassis (1988 - 2016), approximately 50mm of lift, sold per pair. Select 0-300kg for mixed use, or Constant 300kg / 500kg / GVM mine-spec for permanently loaded utes.
Add U-bolts, greasable shackles and pins, urethane bushes or Air Assist bellows airbags from the options below.
Tough Dog leaf springs are a genuinely progressive design: each leaf is set slightly proud of the one above it, so the leaves stay in contact along their whole length instead of slapping together under load.
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 Coil Springs and adjustable Rear Panhard Rod for the Nissan Patrol GQ & GU Ute 1988-2016.
Pair with Tough Dog rear shocks.

0-300kg (BPN-010) suits daily driving with variable loads. CONSTANT 300kg (BPN-010H), CONSTANT 500kg (FS39M) and the CONSTANT GVM mine-spec pack (FS38M) are for weight that never leaves the ute - they ride firm when empty.
These suit the following applications: Nissan Patrol GQ/GU Cab Chassis - Leaf Rear 02/1988 - 1997; Nissan Patrol GU Cab Chassis - Coil Front, Leaf Rear 1997 - 2016. Check your build date and variant against the fitment table on this page – if you're not certain, contact us with your rego or VIN details and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
The listed price covers both sides – always replace left and right together so the axle is evenly damped and sprung. It's a bolt-in job for a competent home mechanic or any workshop; check bushes, mounts and brake-line slack while everything is apart.
A moderate suspension lift is generally acceptable in most Australian states, but the allowed total lift and whether certification is needed differ between states and change over time – so always confirm with your state’s transport authority before modifying. Our guide explains how the rules work state by state: are lift kits legal in Australia?
