Toyota Landcruiser (1980-10/1985) 60 61 62 Series 11/1980-10/1985 Tough Dog T44L-LH Tough Dog Rear Leaf Spring
TD-T44L-LH
Leaf springs represent one of the most enduring suspension designs in automotive history, maintaining their relevance 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 under load, the secondary stage engages, effectively preventing excessive sag and maintaining optimal ride height. The manufacturing process is meticulously designed to enhance durability, offering superior corrosion resistance and sag prevention, ensuring longevity in demanding environments.
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. Each spring is precision mandrel and die-formed, oil quenched, hardened, and tempered to guarantee extended service life. The military wrap design is standard across all part numbers, ensuring added strength and reliability.
These leaf springs are accurately heat-treated and constructed from high-grade spring steel, featuring anti-friction pads in most applications to enhance performance. Pre-stressing the springs helps maintain ride height, while diamond cut ends facilitate smooth operation. Load rate testing ensures that each spring meets rigorous performance standards.
For vehicles equipped with additional accessories, Tough Dog offers various spring rates 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:
It is advisable to pair these raised springs with long travel shock absorbers to optimize performance. When selecting springs, note that LH and RH designations indicate the respective sides, and it is recommended to choose one of each to form a complete set. 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.
Choosing the appropriate spring rate is crucial for achieving the best results in load carrying capacity, ride quality, and overall ride height. Please be aware that images provided are for representation purposes only and may not accurately depict the specific part number being viewed.
