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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles equipped with additional accessories, various spring rates are available to accommodate constant load carrying. The approximate raised height provided by these springs ranges from 40-50mm, with specific models designed for different load capacities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eT46C-LH - 0-300kg Light Load Passenger Side\u003cbr\u003eT46C-RH - 0-300kg Light Load Driver Side\u003cbr\u003eT46L-LH - 300kg Constant Load Passenger Side\u003cbr\u003eT46L-RH - 300kg Constant Load Driver Side\u003cbr\u003eBP-002-XHD - 500kg Constant Load Driver Side\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting springs, it is important to choose one of each side (LH and RH) to create a complete pair. It is also advisable to pair these raised springs with long travel shock absorbers for optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConstant 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 most appropriate spring rate is crucial for achieving the best results in load carrying capacity, ride quality, and overall ride height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that images provided are for representation purposes only and may not accurately depict the specific part number being viewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLeaf Spring Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT46C-LH - 0-300kg Light Load Passenger Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT46C-RH - 0-300kg Light Load Driver Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT46L-LH - 300kg Constant Load Passenger Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT46L-RH - 300kg Constant Load Driver Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBP-002-XHD - 500kg Constant Load Driver Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpring Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision mandrel \u0026amp; die-formed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil quenched, hardened \u0026amp; tempered to ensure longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilitary wrap is standard across all part numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately heat-treated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from high grade spring steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-friction pads in most applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-stressed to maintain ride height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond cut ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rate tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelect the most appropriate spring rate option to suit the fixed accessories on the vehicle:\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Lift Height: 40-50mm\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \tT46C-LH - 0-300kg Light Load Passenger Side\n\u003cbr\u003e \tT46C-RH - 0-300kg Light Load Driver Side\n\u003cbr\u003e \tT46L-LH - 300kg Constant Load Passenger Side\n\u003cbr\u003e \tT46L-RH - 300kg Constant Load Driver Side\n\u003cbr\u003e \tBP-002-XHD - 500kg Constant Load Driver Side\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eSold Individually.\n\u003cbr\u003eWhere LH and RH are noted select one of each to create a pair.\u003cp\u003eHigh quality 4x4 suspension upgrades proudly sold by PPD Performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePPD Performance offer custom built suspension solutions, with unique adjustability and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese kits are assembled to order to suit your requirements, with an average lead time that can vary between 1-3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need a specific eta, please contact us before ordering and we will be sure to assist you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tough Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46758944243886,"sku":"TD-T46L-LH","price":252.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2136\/3225\/files\/Tough-Dog-Leaf-Springs-1_167cc796-7e30-4265-bd1b-39dc777668df.jpg?v=1754614554","url":"https:\/\/ppdperformance.com.au\/products\/toyota-hilux-4wd-1983-1997-leaf-leaf-4wd-11-1983-1997-tough-dog-t46l-lh-tough-dog-rear-leaf-spring","provider":"PPD Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
