Product Description

The Old Man Emu CS005RA Dakar rear leaf spring delivers heavy-duty load carrying capability and significantly improved ride quality for 1980-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser 60 Series vehicles. Engineered as part of ARB's integrated 4x4 suspension system, this rear leaf spring is designed for vehicles carrying constant rear cargo weight up to 200 kg (440 lbs), making it ideal for expedition builds, commercial applications, and heavily-equipped overland rigs. The innovative two-stage leaf pack design features 7 primary leaves plus 2 secondary leaves that engage progressively as load increases, providing comfortable unladen ride quality while offering substantial support when fully loaded. Draw-tapered and diamond-cut leaf profiles distribute stress over larger surface areas to prevent the concentrated loads that cause premature leaf breakage, while the shot peening process applied to all tension surfaces can double the spring's service life. The military wrap design adds structural safety, and the flat axle seat area ensures secure mounting while reducing spring stress. Re-greasable nylon interleaf friction pads minimize leaf-to-leaf friction at the high-load tips where wear is greatest. For optimal performance, pair with Old Man Emu shock absorbers specifically tuned for the Land Cruiser 60 Series platform. Developed, engineered, and manufactured in Australia by ARB's dedicated suspension engineers with over 40 years of off-road expertise.
