Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance, ride comfort, and component longevity. Always select spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads. Common rear constant loads on the 79 Series Dual Cab include steel trays, aluminium canopies, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, toolboxes, and permanently mounted recovery equipment. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing a caravan should NOT be factored into spring rate selection — these are best managed with supplementary airbag suspension systems. Selecting overly heavy spring rates results in harsh ride quality, premature wear of shock absorbers and bushes, and potential damage to chassis mounts.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. Installation involves removing the rear wheels, supporting the axle, disconnecting shock absorbers and brake lines (if required), removing old U-bolts and springs, and fitting the new Toughdog leaf springs with supplied hardware. A full four-wheel alignment and steering geometry check is mandatory after installation to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain vehicle handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and bushes to seat properly before final ride height and alignment adjustments. For vehicles with 2+ inches of lift or heavy constant loads, consider upgrading to heavy-duty shock absorbers to maximise ride control and component lifespan.
Toughdog has been Australia's most trusted 4WD suspension brand for over 25 years, with every component designed, tested, and proven across the harshest Australian conditions — from the Simpson Desert to Cape York. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide network of specialist fitment centres, Toughdog delivers the reliability tradespeople depend on and the performance tourers demand. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range for your vehicle to build a matched suspension system.
These Toughdog rear leaf springs are ideal for LandCruiser 79 Series owners who've added permanent accessories like steel trays, canopies, or toolboxes and need to restore factory ride height and handling. Tradies, farmers, mine workers, and remote area tourers rely on these springs for daily heavy-duty use, while recreational four-wheel drivers appreciate the improved load capacity for long-range touring setups. If you frequently tow caravans or trailers or carry highly variable loads, consider pairing these springs with an airbag suspension kit for on-demand adjustability without compromising unladen ride comfort.

Yes, these Toughdog rear leaf springs are specifically engineered for the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Dual Cab from 2007 to current models. They're designed as direct OE replacements that bolt into factory mounting points without chassis modifications. However, it's essential to select the correct spring rate based on your constant accessory load — our team can help you choose the right specification for your tray type, canopy, and permanent accessories to ensure optimal fitment and performance.
These Toughdog rear leaf springs are primarily designed to restore factory ride height on vehicles carrying constant accessory loads rather than provide significant lift. Depending on the spring rate selected and your current load configuration, you can expect 0-30mm of height restoration compared to sagging factory springs. If you're seeking additional lift for larger tyres or improved ground clearance, consider a complete suspension upgrade including front coil springs or a matched lift kit. The primary benefit of these springs is load-carrying capacity and ride quality restoration, not lift height.
This kit includes a pair of heavy-duty Toughdog rear leaf springs with pre-installed bushes and sleeves, centre bolts, heavy-duty U-bolts with nuts and washers, spring pins, and all necessary mounting hardware for installation. Detailed fitment instructions and spring rate selection guidance are also provided. Please note that rear shock absorbers, extended brake lines, shackles, and bump stops are sold separately and may be required depending on your vehicle's current configuration and intended use.
Yes, when correctly rated for your constant accessory load, these Toughdog leaf springs significantly improve towing stability and control by maintaining proper ride height and preventing rear-end sag. However, spring rate selection should be based on permanent vehicle weight only — not towing loads. For the best towing setup, we recommend pairing these springs with airbag suspension, which allows you to increase support when towing and return to optimal ride comfort when the trailer is disconnected. This combination delivers superior versatility for vehicles that alternate between daily driving and heavy towing duties.
The LandCruiser 79 Series uses a solid rear axle with leaf spring suspension, so there are no rear control arms to upgrade. However, if you're installing a complete suspension system including front lift components, front upper and lower control arm upgrades may be beneficial to correct alignment angles and maintain factory ride quality. For rear suspension, focus on pairing these springs with quality shock absorbers matched to your spring rate and load requirements. Our suspension specialists can recommend a complete package tailored to your vehicle's setup and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing new leaf springs to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent uneven tyre wear, and maintain safe handling characteristics. Even though these are rear springs, changes in ride height affect overall vehicle geometry and weight distribution, which can impact front wheel alignment settings. Professional alignment should be performed after installation and again after the 500km break-in period once the springs have fully settled. This ensures optimal tyre life and vehicle handling for the long term.
Yes, Toughdog manufactures these rear leaf springs in multiple spring rates to accommodate different constant load configurations. It's critical to select the spring rate that matches your actual permanent accessory weight — including tray type, canopy, toolboxes, dual batteries, and long-range tanks. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads like camping gear or towing weight, as this will result in an excessively harsh ride and potential damage to other suspension components. Contact our team with details of your setup, and we'll recommend the correct spring rate for optimal comfort and load-carrying performance.
These leaf springs are designed primarily to restore factory ride height under load rather than provide significant lift for larger tyres. If your goal is to fit substantially larger tyres, you'll need a complete suspension lift kit that addresses both front and rear ride height together with appropriate wheel offset and potentially body modifications. However, if your vehicle currently sits low due to heavy accessories and sagging springs, restoring proper ride height with these Toughdog springs may restore clearance for factory or moderately larger tyre sizes. Consult our parts finder or contact our team to discuss your specific tyre fitment goals.
Toughdog leaf springs are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. The specific warranty period varies by component and application, but typically ranges from 12 months to limited lifetime coverage on certain parts. Warranty claims require proof of professional installation, correct spring rate selection based on actual vehicle load, and evidence of proper maintenance. For complete warranty terms and conditions specific to this product, contact us directly or refer to the documentation included with your springs upon delivery.
Absolutely — when correctly rated for your constant accessory load, Toughdog leaf springs deliver excellent on-road ride comfort, control, and durability for daily driving conditions. The progressive spring rate design ensures comfortable ride quality when unloaded while providing the support needed when carrying cargo or equipment. Thousands of LandCruiser 79 Series owners across Australia rely on Toughdog springs for everything from daily commuting to remote area work and extended touring. The key to on-road comfort is honest spring rate selection based on actual permanent weight — avoid over-speccing spring rates, which causes harsh ride and premature component wear.
