Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and suspension longevity. When ordering, consider only your constant accessory load — this means permanently fitted equipment that remains on your vehicle at all times. Common rear constant loads include rear bars, dual spare wheel carriers, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, fridge slide mounts, water tanks, and fixed storage systems. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing loads should not be factored into spring rate selection, as choosing springs that are too heavy will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components. For vehicles regularly towing heavy caravans or trailers, consider pairing your leaf springs with airbag suspension systems for adjustable load support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for leaf spring replacement to ensure correct torque specifications, shackle alignment, and safety. During installation, all suspension bushings, U-bolts, centre bolts, and mounting hardware should be inspected and replaced if worn. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting new springs to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper handling characteristics. We recommend a 500km break-in period where springs will settle into their final ride height — avoid maximum loads during this period. When upgrading your 60 Series suspension, consider pairing these springs with matching rear shock absorbers and inspecting other suspension components for wear.

These Toughdog rear leaf springs are specifically engineered to fit all Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series variants including FJ60, FJ62, HJ60, and HJ61 models manufactured between 1980 and 1990. They are direct OEM replacement springs designed to bolt into factory mounting locations without modification. The springs fit both petrol and diesel variants across the entire 60 Series production run. If you have modified suspension components or non-standard rear axle configuration, please contact our team to confirm fitment before ordering.
These Toughdog rear leaf springs are designed primarily as heavy-duty replacement springs rather than lift springs, maintaining close to factory ride height when fitted to a vehicle with constant accessory loads. They restore sagging rear ends to original height while providing enhanced load capacity. The actual ride height achieved depends on your vehicle's current spring condition, constant accessory weight, and selected spring rate. For vehicles wanting significant rear lift, dedicated lift leaf springs or complete lift kit packages are available separately.
This kit includes a pair (left and right) of Toughdog heavy-duty rear leaf springs pre-assembled with bushings installed and ready to fit. You will need to purchase separately: rear U-bolts, centre bolts, shackles, and shackle pins as these are considered consumable items that should be replaced during installation. We strongly recommend replacing your rear shock absorbers at the same time, as new springs will expose worn shock performance. Professional installation, wheel alignment, and safety inspection are also required but not included in the kit price.
Yes, these Toughdog rear leaf springs are engineered to handle towing applications and provide excellent load capacity for caravan and trailer towing with the LandCruiser 60 Series. However, the spring rate should be selected based on your constant accessory load only — not occasional towing loads. For regular heavy towing or variable loads, we strongly recommend adding an airbag suspension system that allows you to adjust rear support based on your current towing requirements. This combination of quality leaf springs plus airbags delivers the best ride quality both loaded and unloaded.
The Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series uses a live axle rear suspension with leaf springs and does not have rear control arms, so no control arm upgrade is necessary for this installation. However, you should thoroughly inspect all rear suspension bushings, shackles, and mounting hardware during spring replacement, as worn components will compromise the performance of your new springs. Front suspension control arms are a separate consideration if you're planning a complete suspension overhaul for your 60 Series.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing new rear leaf springs on your LandCruiser 60 Series. While rear leaf spring replacement primarily affects rear axle position, any change in ride height or suspension geometry can impact overall vehicle alignment, steering feel, and tyre wear patterns. A professional alignment ensures your castor, camber, and toe settings are within manufacturer specifications for safe handling and even tyre wear. Most reputable suspension installers include alignment in their installation service or can recommend a qualified alignment specialist.
Yes, when ordering these Toughdog leaf springs, you should select the spring rate that matches your constant accessory load — the permanent weight of fitted equipment like rear bars, spare wheel carriers, fuel tanks, and drawer systems. It's critical to be honest about your actual constant load and not overestimate by including occasional camping gear or towing loads. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in an unnecessarily harsh ride and potential damage to other suspension components. Our team can help you calculate your constant load and recommend the correct spring rate for your specific 60 Series setup.
These Toughdog rear leaf springs are designed to maintain approximately stock ride height (or restore sagging suspension to original height) and do not provide significant lift for larger tyres. Tyre clearance on the LandCruiser 60 Series is primarily determined by front suspension lift, guard modifications, and overall ride height rather than just rear spring selection. If your goal is to fit larger tyres, you should consider a complete lift kit that includes both front and rear height increase. These rear springs will support the weight of larger, heavier tyres but won't necessarily create additional clearance for them.
Toughdog provides comprehensive warranty coverage on all their suspension products including these rear leaf springs, protecting against manufacturing defects and material failures. The specific warranty period and terms are provided with your purchase and cover normal 4WD usage including touring, towing, and off-road driving. Warranty does not cover damage from accidents, incorrect installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, or failure to maintain proper suspension servicing. We recommend retaining all installation documentation and receipts to support any future warranty claims. For specific warranty details and terms, please refer to the documentation included with your springs or contact our team.
Absolutely — these Toughdog rear leaf springs are engineered to provide excellent on-road ride quality for daily driving while also delivering the load capacity and durability needed for touring and towing. The progressive spring rate design means they're comfortable when unladen but progressively stiffen as load increases, providing the best of both worlds. Provided you select the correct spring rate for your actual constant accessory load (not overestimating), you'll enjoy comfortable daily driving with confident handling and reduced body roll. Many LandCruiser 60 Series owners report significantly improved ride quality after replacing worn original springs with these Toughdog units.
