Toyota Prado (1996-2003) 95 Series 7/1996-2003 Tough Dog TDC973S Tough Dog Rear Raised Coil Springs
TD-TDC973S

Designed and manufactured in Australia using high-quality German X5K spring steel, Tough Dog coils are engineered to optimize material usage while delivering exceptional ride quality and load-carrying capabilities. These springs are crafted to retain their original memory even under heavy loads, resulting in a lighter and more durable coil that can withstand rigorous demands.

Each coil undergoes a meticulous process, including shot peening to relieve internal stresses, scragging, and rigorous load testing. They are formed on precision mandrels and hot-formed to ensure the retention of spring memory. The final product is finished with a powder coating that not only enhances aesthetics but also provides excellent corrosion resistance.

For vehicles equipped with additional accessories, Tough Dog offers a variety of spring rates tailored to accommodate extra weight or constant load scenarios. Constant Load refers to weight that is permanently added to the vehicle, such as canopies, steel trays, drawer systems, fridges, toolboxes, rear bars, or spare wheel carriers. Selecting the appropriate spring option is crucial for optimizing vehicle performance and load management.

Approximate Lift Heights for Tough Dog coils are as follows: TDC973S provides a 25mm lift for light loads up to 300kg, TDC973 offers a 40mm lift for light loads up to 300kg, and TDC973H delivers a 40mm lift for a constant load of 300kg. It is advisable to pair these raised springs with long travel shock absorbers to maximize performance.
