Tough Dog 50mm raised rear leaf springs for the Toyota 4Runner / Surf (11/1985-1989) and Toyota Hilux (04/1979-1997), sold as a left + right pair - both use the same springs. Pick the spring rated for your constant load, then add U-bolts, greasable shackle & pins and the shackle bush kit below. The extra-heavy-duty BP-002-XHD suits the Hilux.
These are progressive-rate packs – every leaf sits in contact along its full length with the leaf above, which is what keeps the unladen ride tolerable on a working ute.
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.

These suit the following applications: Toyota 4Runner / Surf IFS / Leaf Rear 11/1985 - 1989; Toyota Hilux Leaf/Leaf (SAF) 04/1979 - 1997. 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?
