Mazda BT-50 4WD (2020-On) TF 08/2020-On Tough Dog FS215C Rear Raised Leaf Spring
TD-FS215C
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 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, ensuring longevity in demanding conditions.
These leaf springs are available in up to three distinct spring rate options for most applications, providing the flexibility 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 guarantee extended service life.
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, various spring rates are available to accommodate constant load scenarios. The approximate raised height achieved with these springs ranges from 40-50mm, with specific models catering to different load capacities: FS215C for light loads (0-300kg), FS214L for constant loads (300kg), and FS214LL for heavier constant loads (500kg).
It is advisable to pair these raised springs with long travel shock absorbers to optimize performance. 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, ride quality, and overall ride height.
