Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality—you must calculate your constant accessory load (weight permanently fitted to your vehicle). Constant rear loads include aluminium or steel canopies, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, toolboxes, compressors, roof racks with RTT, bullbars, and permanently mounted recovery gear. Do not include occasional loads such as passengers, camping gear, firewood or towing weight—overestimating your constant load will result in an overly stiff ride, accelerated wear on other suspension components, and reduced comfort for daily driving.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct torque specifications, spring positioning and safety compliance. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and maintain steering accuracy. All leaf spring systems require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle into their final ride height—avoid maximum loads during this period. For vehicles lifted beyond 30mm or those running larger tyres, consider pairing these springs with upgraded control arms to maintain correct suspension geometry and castor angles.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as one of Australia's most trusted 4WD suspension brands through decades of outback engineering, rigorous testing and real-world validation across the harshest touring and trade conditions. Every component is designed to meet Australian load requirements, environmental extremes and the demanding expectations of grey nomads, tradespeople and serious off-road tourers. Comprehensive manufacturer warranty and unmatched technical support make Toughdog the smart choice—explore the full Toughdog suspension range for complete vehicle packages.
These rear leaf springs are ideal for Volkswagen Amarok owners who regularly tow caravans or trailers, carry heavy trade loads, or tour with roof-top tents and extended-range fuel systems—anyone whose factory rear suspension sags under constant accessory weight. Trades requiring toolboxes, compressors and materials will appreciate the heavy-duty load ratings, while touring families benefit from level ride height and improved stability with camper trailers. For maximum load versatility without permanent spring upgrades, consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load support.

Lift height depends entirely on the spring rate you select based on your constant accessory load—lighter load ratings may provide 0-20mm lift, while heavier ratings designed for trade or touring setups can deliver 30-50mm rear lift. The actual lift achieved will vary according to the weight you permanently carry (canopy, drawers, dual batteries, etc.). It's essential to accurately calculate your constant rear load and select the appropriate spring rate to achieve your desired ride height without over-springing, which would result in a harsh ride and potential component stress.
This kit includes a pair (2) of Toughdog heavy-duty rear leaf springs precision-engineered for Volkswagen Amarok, complete with centre bolts, greasable spring bushes, anti-squeak interliner pads, and detailed installation instructions. Note that U-bolts, spring shackles, shock absorbers and installation hardware are sold separately—you may reuse factory hardware if in good condition, or upgrade to heavy-duty components. The load rating is specified at time of order based on your declared constant accessory weight, ensuring you receive springs correctly matched to your vehicle's configuration.
Yes, Toughdog leaf springs are specifically engineered to handle heavy towing applications including caravans, camper trailers and boat trailers when the correct load rating is selected. The progressive leaf design reduces rear-end squat and axle wrap under tow loads, significantly improving stability and control at highway speeds. However, it's critical to remember that towing weight is not considered constant load—select your spring rate based only on permanently fitted accessories, and consider adding airbag helper springs if you tow occasionally but don't want permanently heavy springs for daily driving.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory for standard leaf spring replacements with minimal lift (under 30mm), but they become highly recommended if you're achieving 40mm+ rear lift or running significantly larger tyres. Increased ride height alters suspension geometry and castor angles, which can affect steering feel, tyre wear and off-road articulation. Upgraded adjustable control arms allow you to correct these geometry changes and restore optimal alignment settings. Consult with a qualified suspension specialist during installation to assess whether your specific lift height and vehicle use warrants control arm upgrades.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any leaf spring upgrade on your Volkswagen Amarok. Changing rear springs alters ride height and can affect overall suspension geometry, castor and pinion angles—all of which impact tyre wear, steering accuracy and vehicle handling. Professional alignment ensures your Amarok tracks straight, tyres wear evenly, and steering feel remains precise. Most reputable 4WD suspension installers include alignment in their fitting service, and skipping this critical step will lead to premature tyre wear and compromised safety.
Yes—Toughdog manufactures these Amarok rear leaf springs in multiple load ratings to match varying constant accessory weights, from light touring setups through to heavy trade configurations. When ordering, you'll select the spring rate that corresponds to your permanently fitted rear accessories (canopy, drawers, fuel tanks, toolboxes, etc.). It's crucial to calculate your actual constant load accurately—overestimating leads to harsh ride quality, while underestimating causes sagging and potential bottoming out. Our suspension experts can help you calculate your load and recommend the optimal spring rate for your specific setup and intended vehicle use.
Depending on the spring rate selected and resulting lift height, these Toughdog leaf springs can provide sufficient rear clearance for modestly larger tyres (typically 30-35mm diameter increase) without additional modifications. However, tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset, guard clearance at full steering lock, and front suspension lift height—rear springs alone don't determine maximum tyre size. For significant tyre upgrades beyond 32 inches, you'll likely need a complete lift kit including front coil springs or strut spacers, plus possible guard trimming or wheel spacers. Check our complete Amarok suspension packages for balanced front-and-rear lift solutions.
Toughdog backs these leaf springs with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship—specific warranty period varies by component type and application, typically ranging from 12 months to limited lifetime coverage. Warranty claims require proof of purchase, professional installation, and evidence of proper maintenance including correct load rating selection and appropriate vehicle use. The warranty does not cover damage from overloading beyond rated capacity, improper installation, accident damage, or failure of related components due to incorrect spring rate selection. Retain your purchase receipt and installation documentation for warranty validation.
Absolutely—Toughdog engineers these leaf springs to balance heavy-duty load capacity with excellent on-road ride quality and daily driveability. When you select the correct spring rate matched to your actual constant accessory load, you'll experience comfortable highway cruising, reduced body roll in corners, and controlled damping over road imperfections. Overspringing (selecting too heavy a load rating) will result in harsh ride quality and reduced comfort, which is why accurate load calculation is critical. Many Amarok owners use these springs daily for commuting and highway travel while maintaining full capability for weekend touring, towing and off-road adventures without compromise.
Perfect upgrade for my work Amarok
Fitted these rear leaf springs to my Amarok a couple months back and the difference is night and day.
