Springs Explained

Don’t bounce into an incorrect spring application for your four-wheel drive. The springs in your vehicle are one of the most important components in your suspension and they’re the first item to be selected when putting together the right suspension combination.

All too often, four-wheel drive owners complain of either a hard and uncomfortable ride, or sagging springs that just can’t handle the load.  Nine out of ten times – incorrect spring choice is the culprit.

But, how do you know what the right choice is?  Is it a case of picking the heaviest spring and hoping for the best? Or, is there a little more discretion required?  In this training video you will learn how Tough Dog coil and leaf springs are designed including the materials we use, the manufacturing process and why not all springs are made equal. You will also find out that each spring is designed to lift a vehicle to a specific height, carry a particular load and also allow for a comfortable ride as well as being reliable.
