Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality and load-carrying performance. Your spring choice should be based on the constant accessory load you carry in your Great Wall Cannon on a daily basis, not occasional heavy loads or towing scenarios. Common rear accessories that affect spring selection include: permanent dual battery systems, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, rear bar and tow hitch assemblies, permanent toolboxes, and camping equipment stored in the tray. For occasional towing or variable loads, consider pairing these springs with airbag suspension to fine-tune load support without compromising daily ride comfort. Over-springing your vehicle with excessively heavy-rated springs will result in harsh ride quality and may cause premature wear to bushings and other suspension components.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, proper torque specifications, and safe operation. During installation, all spring bushings, shackles, and U-bolts should be inspected and replaced if worn, and all fasteners must be torqued to manufacturer specifications. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after leaf spring installation to ensure correct axle positioning, caster angles, and toe settings for optimal tyre wear and handling characteristics. Allow a 500-kilometre break-in period for springs to settle under normal driving conditions before re-checking U-bolt torque and making final adjustments. For complete suspension system performance, consider pairing these rear leaf springs with upgraded suspension components including extended shackles, heavy-duty bushings, and steering dampers.

These Toughdog rear leaf springs are specifically engineered to fit all Great Wall Cannon (also known as GWM Cannon) models from 2020 onwards, including both petrol and diesel variants. They are manufactured to precise OE specifications ensuring direct bolt-in fitment to factory rear suspension mounting points. The springs maintain correct spring eye spacing, arch height, and load distribution for your Cannon's rear axle geometry. If you have aftermarket accessories like lift blocks or extended shackles already installed, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
These Toughdog rear leaf springs are primarily designed for load support and enhanced carrying capacity rather than significant lift height. Depending on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's current condition, you may experience 0-25mm of rear lift when fitted, with the primary benefit being reduced sag under load and improved weight distribution. If you're specifically seeking suspension lift for your Great Wall Cannon to level the vehicle or fit larger tyres, these springs should be considered as part of a complete lift kit system. The actual ride height achieved will depend on your constant accessory load and the spring rate selected to match your requirements.
This kit includes a pair (left and right) of Toughdog heavy-duty rear leaf springs manufactured with multi-leaf progressive construction and corrosion-resistant coating. The springs come with pre-lubricated spring eyes and are ready for installation onto your Great Wall Cannon's existing rear suspension mounts. However, installation hardware such as U-bolts, spring bushings, shackles, and centre bolts are sold separately as these components should be replaced based on the condition of your existing parts. Most installations will require new U-bolts at minimum, and we recommend inspecting all bushings and hardware during fitting to ensure safe operation and optimal performance.
Yes, these Toughdog rear leaf springs are excellent for regular towing applications when correctly matched to your towing requirements through proper spring rate selection. The reinforced multi-leaf construction and progressive spring design reduce rear-end squat when towing caravans or trailers, maintaining proper vehicle stance and headlight alignment while improving steering control and braking performance. For best results, select a spring rate that accommodates your vehicle's constant accessory weight plus a portion of regular towing loads. For maximum versatility with variable towing loads, consider adding airbag suspension which allows you to adjust rear support on-demand without compromising unladen ride quality when not towing.
For most Great Wall Cannon owners installing these rear leaf springs at factory height or with minimal lift, factory control arms and suspension components will remain adequate. However, if you're experiencing worn bushings, damaged shackles, or planning a complete suspension overhaul, this is an ideal time to inspect and potentially upgrade related components. Extended or adjustable shackles may be beneficial if you're seeking additional lift, while upgraded shock absorbers will maximize the performance benefits of your new leaf springs. The Great Wall Cannon's front suspension may benefit from upgraded components if you're building a complete touring or heavy-duty suspension system to match your enhanced rear load capacity.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing new rear leaf springs on your Great Wall Cannon. Changing rear springs can affect rear axle positioning, thrust angle, and overall vehicle tracking, which impacts tyre wear and handling safety. Even if your springs are replaced with identical specifications, the installation process and new spring settling requires alignment verification. The alignment should ideally be performed after the initial 500-kilometre break-in period when springs have fully settled under normal driving conditions. Skipping alignment can result in premature tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and unsafe driving dynamics, particularly under load or when towing.
Yes, Toughdog manufactures these Great Wall Cannon rear leaf springs in multiple load ratings to suit different constant accessory weights and usage patterns. When ordering, you must select a spring rate based on your actual constant load — the accessories and equipment you carry in your Cannon every day, not occasional heavy loads or towing scenarios. Common constant loads include permanent drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, rear bars, tow hitches, and regularly carried tools or equipment. Selecting too heavy a spring rate for your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components, while too light a rate will cause excessive sag and poor handling under your normal operating weight.
These Toughdog rear leaf springs primarily provide load support and reduced sag rather than significant suspension lift, so tyre clearance gains will be minimal compared to a complete lift kit. If you're experiencing rear guard rubbing with your current tyre size when loaded, these springs will help by maintaining proper ride height under weight and reducing body sag. However, if you want to fit substantially larger tyres on your Great Wall Cannon, you'll need a complete suspension lift system including front and rear components. The springs may provide 0-25mm of additional rear height depending on load and spring rate selected, which could accommodate slightly larger tyres, but a comprehensive lift kit is recommended for significant tyre size increases.
These Toughdog rear leaf springs are backed by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, providing coverage against defects in materials and workmanship for the specified warranty period from date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing faults, premature spring failure, and material defects under normal operating conditions and proper installation. To maintain warranty validity, springs must be installed by a qualified technician following manufacturer specifications, with appropriate spring rate selection for your vehicle's constant load, and regular maintenance as recommended. Warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, overloading beyond spring capacity, accident damage, or wear from normal use, so proper spring rate selection and professional installation are essential for long-term performance and warranty protection.
Absolutely — these Toughdog rear leaf springs are designed to provide excellent daily driving comfort while delivering enhanced load capacity when needed. The progressive multi-leaf design ensures that unladen ride quality remains comfortable for commuting and highway touring, progressively stiffening as load increases to maintain proper vehicle stance and handling. When correctly matched to your constant accessory load through proper spring rate selection, you'll experience improved handling stability, reduced body roll, and better weight distribution during everyday driving. Many Great Wall Cannon owners who use their vehicles for both daily transport and weekend work or touring applications find that quality leaf springs like these Toughdog units provide the perfect balance of comfort, capability, and durability for dual-purpose use.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Loaded Cannon
Fitted these Toughdog leaf springs to our Great Wall Cannon before our winter trip up to Queensland and the difference was night and day. Previously the back end would sag noticeably with the camper trailer, swags, and all the kids' gear loaded up, but now it sits level and handles beautifully even when fully loaded. The ride quality is actually smoother than the factory springs, which was a pleasant surprise given the extra load capacity.(5)
