Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for ride quality, component longevity, and safe handling. Always base your spring rate selection on constant load only - this means accessories and gear permanently fitted to your vehicle such as steel bullbars, winches, long-range fuel tanks, roof racks with permanent storage, and UHF/lighting equipment. Do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight in your constant load calculation, as over-specifying spring rate will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear on bushings, shock absorbers, and steering components. Common front constant accessories for the 60 Series include steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), intercoolers, heavy duty batteries, and auxiliary lighting.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension workshop is strongly recommended for leaf spring replacement due to the need for spring compression, safe vehicle support, and precise torque specifications. U-bolts must be replaced (not included - select correct length for your axle), shackles inspected, and all fasteners torqued to Toyota specifications after settling. A full front-end wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent uneven tyre wear and steering pull. Allow a 500km break-in period for bushings to seat and springs to settle before final ride height assessment. For a complete front suspension upgrade, consider pairing these springs with upgraded heavy duty shock absorbers to maximise load control and ride comfort.

These front leaf springs are ideal for Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series owners who've added front-end accessories like bullbars and winches, experienced sagging or soft ride from worn factory springs, or need to restore ground clearance and handling precision. Whether you're a tradesperson relying on your Cruiser daily, a tourer preparing for the Canning Stock Route, or a weekend adventurer tackling High Country tracks, correct spring rate selection ensures your 60 Series handles predictably and comfortably. For owners carrying heavy rear loads or towing, consider complementing your suspension upgrade with airbag suspension for the ultimate load-levelling solution.

Yes, these Toughdog front leaf springs are specifically engineered for Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series models produced from 1980 to 1990. They are a direct replacement for factory front leaf springs and fit all 60 Series variants including wagon and ute body styles. The springs are designed to bolt directly to factory mounting points using your existing or new U-bolts and shackles. If you have any concerns about fitment or have modified suspension mounts, please contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
Lift height depends on your current spring condition and selected spring rate. If replacing worn, sagging factory springs, these Toughdog springs will restore factory ride height and may provide 25-40mm of additional lift depending on constant load and spring rate chosen. The primary purpose of these springs is load support and ride quality rather than maximum lift. For greater lift heights, consider a complete suspension system including longer shocks and chassis modifications. Actual ride height will settle after the 500km break-in period and varies based on front-end accessory weight.
This kit includes a pair (2) of Toughdog heavy duty multi-leaf front springs, polyurethane bushings, centre bolts, and leaf clips. The springs come with corrosion-resistant coating applied and are ready to install. Please note that U-bolts, shackles, and shackle pins are not included as these are vehicle-specific and should be replaced with new components during installation. You may also need new bump stops depending on lift height achieved. Check the kit contents section above for the complete list of included components.
These front leaf springs are designed primarily to handle constant front-end accessory weight such as bullbars, winches, and long-range tanks rather than towing loads which affect the rear of the vehicle. When selecting spring rate, base your choice on constant front accessories only - do not factor in towing tongue weight as this is carried by the rear suspension. If you tow regularly, focus on upgrading your rear leaf springs or adding airbag suspension to the rear axle for proper load levelling. The front springs will benefit towing stability by maintaining correct front ride height and preventing excessive nose-down attitude.
Control arms are not applicable to the LandCruiser 60 Series front suspension as it uses a live front axle with leaf springs rather than independent front suspension. The 60 Series relies on leaf springs for both suspension and axle location, so no control arm upgrade is required. However, you should inspect all front suspension components including shackles, shackle pins, spring bushings, steering linkages, and radius arm bushings during installation. If any components show wear, replace them at the same time to ensure safe, predictable handling and to maximise the lifespan of your new leaf springs.
Yes, a full front-end wheel alignment is mandatory after installing new leaf springs on your LandCruiser 60 Series. Any change in ride height or spring position will alter caster, camber, and toe settings, potentially causing uneven tyre wear, steering pull, and poor handling. Have the alignment performed by a workshop experienced with 4WD and live axle suspension after the springs are fitted and all fasteners are torqued to specification. It's recommended to re-check alignment after the 500km break-in period once the springs have fully settled under load.
Yes, Toughdog offers these front leaf springs in multiple spring rates to match your specific constant load requirements. When ordering, you must select the spring rate based on the permanent weight of accessories fitted to the front of your vehicle such as steel bullbars, winches, intercoolers, and auxiliary fuel tanks. It is critical to select spring rate based on constant load only - do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight. Over-specifying spring rate results in harsh ride quality and can damage other suspension components. Contact our team if you need help calculating your constant front-end weight and selecting the appropriate spring rate.
These leaf springs may provide 25-40mm of additional front ride height depending on your starting point and selected spring rate, which can create some additional clearance for slightly larger tyres. However, tyre fitment on the 60 Series is limited primarily by guard clearance rather than suspension height. Most 60 Series LandCruisers can fit 33-inch tyres with minor guard trimming regardless of suspension lift. For larger tyres (35-inch plus), you will need substantial body modifications, wheel offset changes, and potentially diff gearing adjustments. Always test fit tyres at full lock and full compression to ensure adequate clearance before committing to a tyre size upgrade.
Toughdog stands behind their products with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period varies by component type - contact our team or check with Toughdog directly for exact warranty terms applicable to leaf springs. To maintain warranty coverage, springs must be installed by a qualified technician according to manufacturer specifications, with correct spring rate selected for your vehicle's constant load. Warranty does not cover wear from overloading, incorrect spring rate selection, or damage from accidents. Keep your proof of purchase and installation records to support any warranty claims.
Absolutely - when you select the correct spring rate for your constant accessory load, these Toughdog leaf springs deliver excellent ride quality for daily driving while providing the load capacity and durability needed for weekend touring. Toughdog engineers their springs to balance on-road comfort with off-road capability, avoiding the harsh, truck-like ride of over-rated springs. If your 60 Series is lightly accessorised and used primarily on-road, select a lighter spring rate for the best ride comfort. If you've added heavy front accessories or regularly tackle corrugated outback tracks, a heavier spring rate will provide better control without excessive harshness for your daily commute.
