    About Old Man Emu Shocks

    Old Man Emu (OME) shocks are a well-respected line of suspension products developed by ARB, an Australian company known for its off-road equipment. Designed specifically for trucks, SUVs, and 4x4 vehicles, OME shocks are engineered to improve handling, ride comfort, and performance in both on-road and off-road conditions. Here's a breakdown of what makes Old Man Emu shocks stand out:

     

    1. Tuned for Load and Performance

    OME shocks are part of a system where each shock absorber and spring is finely tuned for different vehicles and specific loads. This tuning ensures that the suspension works harmoniously with the weight of the vehicle, passengers, and cargo, whether you're driving unloaded or carrying heavy gear.

    2. Durability and Build Quality

    Built to endure the harshest off-road conditions. These shocks are constructed from heavy-duty materials to resist damage from rocks, mud, and other obstacles commonly encountered during off-roading. The durable design ensures long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.

    3. Improved Ride Quality

    OME shocks are known for improving ride quality on and off the road. Smoothing out bumps and vibrations, they help reduce driver fatigue and provide a more enjoyable driving experience, even in rugged environments.

    4. Application-Specific Kits

    OME doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, they develop vehicle-specific kits that include shocks, struts, and coilovers tailored to the vehicle’s intended use, such as heavy loads, towing, or aggressive off-road use.

    5. Increased Ride Height

    Old Man Emu (OME) coilovers and struts, particularly when paired with the correct coil springs (like OME coil springs), can effectively increase the front ride height of many trucks and SUVs. A higher ride height allows the vehicle to clear more significant obstacles, such as rocks, logs, or ruts, when driving off-road. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle’s underbody and makes it more capable in rough terrain.

    Key Benefits:

    • Great on and off-road performance
    • Increased ride height
    • Enhanced ride comfort
    • Improved handling and stability
    • Reduced body roll and better control
    • Long-lasting durability
    • Customization options for different load and terrain requirements
