Toyota Hilux 4WD (1983-1997) Leaf/Leaf 4WD 11/1983-1997 Tough Dog T46L-LH Tough Dog Rear Leaf Spring
TD-T46L-LH

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 both 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, which are critical for long-term performance.

These 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.

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 carrying. The approximate raised height provided by these springs ranges from 40-50mm, with specific models designed for different load capacities:

T46C-LH - 0-300kg Light Load Passenger Side
T46C-RH - 0-300kg Light Load Driver Side
T46L-LH - 300kg Constant Load Passenger Side
T46L-RH - 300kg Constant Load Driver Side
BP-002-XHD - 500kg Constant Load Driver Side

When 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.

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 most appropriate spring rate is crucial for achieving the best results in load carrying capacity, ride quality, and overall ride height.
