Ford Ranger 4WD (2022-2030) Next Gen 4Cyl Diesel 2022-On Tough Dog T88C Tough Dog Rear Leaf Spring
TD-T88C

Leaf springs represent one of the most enduring suspension designs in automotive history, maintaining their relevance particularly in commercial vehicles due to their exceptional load-bearing capabilities. Engineered in Australia, these progressive rate leaf springs are meticulously crafted with both primary and secondary stage leaves, ensuring that the vehicle's ride quality remains uncompromised under varying loads.

As the spring compresses under load, the secondary stage engages, effectively preventing excessive sag and maintaining optimal ride height. The manufacturing process is designed to maximize durability, offering robust corrosion resistance and sag prevention, which are critical for long-term performance.

These leaf springs are available in up to three distinct spring rate options for most applications, providing the flexibility necessary to select the ideal spring rate tailored to your vehicle's specific setup. Each spring is precision mandrel and die-formed, oil quenched, hardened, and tempered to ensure longevity and resilience.

Standard features include military wrap across all part numbers, accurate heat treatment, and construction from high-grade spring steel. Many applications also incorporate anti-friction pads to enhance performance. The springs are pre-stressed to maintain ride height and are rigorously load rate tested to ensure reliability.

For vehicles equipped with additional accessories, there is no need for concern. The range includes various spring rates to accommodate extra weight or constant load scenarios. The approximate lift height provided by these springs is between 40-50mm, with specific ratings as follows: T88C for light loads (0-300kg), T88L for constant loads (300kg), and T88LL for heavier constant loads (500kg).

It is advisable to pair these raised springs with long travel shock absorbers to optimize performance. A constant load refers to weight that is permanently added to the vehicle, such as fixed accessories like canopies, steel trays, draw systems, fridges, toolboxes, rear bars, or spare wheel carriers. Selecting the appropriate spring rate is crucial for achieving the best results in load carrying capacity, ride quality, and overall ride height.
