Product Description

The Old Man Emu CS017RB rear leaf spring is a heavy-duty Dakar-series suspension upgrade built for Toyota Land Cruiser 60-series 4WD models from 1980 through 1989. Its robust design combines draw-tapered and diamond-cut leaf construction with bolted clamps and scragged leaves to enhance load support and durability over stock springs. This spring is ideal for owners who demand improved handling, ride quality, and load capacity whether on-road or off-road.

Featuring a flat axle seat for secure mounting and shot-peened tension sides to reduce internal stress, the CS017RB delivers predictable suspension performance under varied conditions. The two-stage leaf pack design helps the spring react smoothly to different load levels, contributing to both comfort and support when carrying gear or towing. When installed, this spring typically yields approximately a 2-3 inch increase in rear ride height compared to factory springs, helping with larger tire clearance and enhanced approach/departure angles.

Sold individually, this rear leaf spring is suitable for Land Cruiser owners refreshing worn suspension components or upgrading for heavier loads and off-road use. Installation requires standard suspension tools; bushings and hardware must be sourced separately. A professional alignment is recommended after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear.
