Tough Dog rear leaf springs for the Volkswagen Amarok 2H (2010-2022), sold per pair with around 20mm of lift. Choose the rate that matches the load you actually carry - a constant-rated spring under a light tray rides harshly.
New U-bolts and urethane shackle bushes are strongly recommended whenever leaf springs are replaced, and can be added below. The Amarok chassis bush comes in two thicknesses - kit TDUK-075 includes both, so fit the correct set for your vehicle.
| Make | Model | Years |
|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen | Amarok 2H (2.0L TDI 4 Cylinder) | 2010 - 2022 |
| Volkswagen | Amarok 2H (3.0L V6 TDI) | 2016 - 2022 |
Choose the load rating for the weight the vehicle carries most of the time, counting only permanent fitments such as a bar, winch, canopy or drawers. A heavier rating than you need rides firm when unloaded; a lighter one sags once the gear goes in.
| Part number | Lift | Load rating | Suits / notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| FS710M | 20 mm | 0-300 kg | - |
| FS710HM | 20 mm | Constant 300 kg | - |
Leaf springs are replaced as a pair with the axle supported, the U-bolts removed and the spring unbolted from the front hanger and rear shackle. Fit new U-bolts, and replace worn shackle bushes and pins at the same time. Torque U-bolts to spec and re-check them after the first few hundred kilometres. Raised springs need shock absorbers with the correct extended length for the new ride height. In most states a suspension lift of up to 50 mm is allowed without certification under VSB14; larger lifts can require engineering approval, so check the rules for your state.

Load ratings refer to permanent extra weight over the axle. Springs do not change the vehicle's GVM or towing capacity.
Pick the rating for the weight the vehicle carries most of the time, counting only permanent fitments. Options on this listing: 0-300 kg, Constant 300 kg. A '0-300 kg' or light rating suits a mostly unloaded vehicle; 'Constant' ratings suit a vehicle that always carries that weight, such as a canopy, drawers and a fridge.
The options on this listing are: 20 mm. Lift is measured at ride height with the vehicle's normal load. Raised springs need matching shock absorbers with the correct extended length.
Yes. The price covers both Tough Dog springs, one for each side.
If you are changing ride height, yes. Shocks are built for a specific travel range, and a lift moves the axle outside the factory shock's range. If you are replacing springs at standard height, existing shocks in good condition can stay.
These Tough Dog springs are listed for the VW Amarok 2010-2022. Check the fitment table above against your build date and body style, or send us your rego and we will confirm the right part.
