Toyota Hilux 4WD (1983-1997) Leaf/Leaf 4WD 11/1983-1997 Tough Dog T46C-RH Tough Dog Rear Leaf Spring
TD-T46C-RH
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, Tough Dog progressive rate leaf springs incorporate both primary and secondary stage leaves, ensuring that the vehicle's ride quality remains uncompromised under varying load conditions. As the spring compresses, the secondary stage engages to mitigate excessive sag, enhancing overall performance.
The manufacturing process is meticulously designed to maximize durability, offering robust corrosion resistance and sag prevention. Tough Dog provides a selection of up to three spring rate options for most applications, allowing for tailored solutions that best fit your vehicle's specific setup.
These leaf springs are precision mandrel and die-formed, oil quenched, hardened, and tempered to ensure longevity. A military wrap is standard across all part numbers, and each spring is accurately heat-treated to enhance performance. Constructed from high-grade spring steel, many applications feature anti-friction pads to reduce wear and improve efficiency.
Pre-stressed to maintain optimal ride height, these springs undergo rigorous load rate testing to ensure reliability. If your vehicle is equipped with additional accessories, Tough Dog offers various spring rates to accommodate constant load carrying requirements.
Approximate raised height ranges from 40-50mm, with specific models catering to different load capacities: T46C-LH and T46C-RH for light loads (0-300kg), T46L-LH and T46L-RH for constant loads (300kg), and BP-002-XHD for heavier constant loads (500kg). When selecting, ensure to pair left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) springs appropriately.
It is advisable to pair these raised springs with long travel shock absorbers for optimal performance. Constant load refers to weight that is permanently added to the vehicle, such as 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 ride height.
