Old Man Emu suspensions

Old Man Emu suspension components are perfect for those who want ride quality over monster height 'show' quality.

Some folks might ask why OME suspensions are not available in taller lifts? OME's philosophy is quality and sensibility without complications. OME sizes their lifts such that there are no problems or modifications required to steering, braking, or drivetrain. Any taller and these items do become an issue. For most people, the extra inch or so isn't worth all the headache and cost necessary. Do it right the first time with OME!

In the world of quality offroad suspensions, there's Old Man Emu, then there's everything else. OME suspension is all about increased load carrying capacity while balanced with low spring rates for a soft ride, improved handling, comfort and control, and better articulation. All OME suspension items are designed in Australia to meet the demanding conditions found in the bush, and the Australian outback. OME suspensions are simply the best riding and performing springs on the planet.

If you are seeking a super trick suspension to put on a barely-legal competition rockcrawling machine, you'll need to spend your thousands elsewhere. If you are seeking a suspension that provides the best balance between street comfort and offroad performance, look no further. Many suspensions out there are more well recognized due to huge ad budgets, but we've owned and ridden with them and frankly, they all ride brutal. OME suspensions are world famous for their luxurious ride quality. And when the time comes to hit the trail, they flex great rather than stand rigid as most other suspensions do.

Generally speaking, for front springs, standard duty springs are intended for use where there's no additional accessories mounted up front, standard duty are intended for use with a bull bar or winch and heavy duty are intended for use when you have a bull bar and a winch.

For rear springs, OME recommends the standard duty springs for stock applications (OME does not list a "light" rear spring), and heavy duty (or very heavy duty) springs when the rear of the vehicle is carrying a constant, heavy load.

Old Man Emu springs are usually designed to give your vehicle a nominal 2-3" of lift depending upon your vehicle at their rated load-carrying capacity. However, depending on your vehicle, additional booster lift pieces can add additional lift height to your quality OME lift platform.

Rocky Road engineered shocks.

We tested other brands of shocks for many years and were often very unhappy with the ride quality. We tried all the big 'name' shocks, Edelbrocks, Bilsteins, ProComp, Skyjacker, etc. All the same, all too stiff for the Toyota. So, we engineered a shock that stands head and shoulders above the rest for ride quality.... the Rocky Road Engineered shock.

These shocks are absolutely perfect for folks who want a great on and off-road shock, but don't want to spend over $200 buying them (and doesn't want to deal with their hassles). These shocks are valved lightly for a very smooth highway ride.

Are you looking at shocks from companies that produce lift kits for full-size pickup trucks? If so, those shocks that are desgined to work on 10cylinder diesel pickup truck lift are the exact same shocks that the lift company is supplying for your Toy. Does that sound right to you? How do you think a shock that is engineered to accomodate a 6-7,000 truck are going to ride on your vehicle weighin 1/3 that amount? Common sense will give you the answer to that question.

We engineered these shocks specifically for their ability to provide great on and off road performance for Toyota.... not full size pickup trucks.... Toyotas. We size them perfectly to run with all our lifts and carry them in most every length for any application.

Steel Axle Shims.

Steel shims help keep driveline angles correct to help with vibration, prevent U-joint binding, and help fight spring wrap if your pinion is sticking up a bit too high. We carry different sized shims for different needs. These are steel shims, NOT aluminum! Aluminum shims can cost a couple bucks less, but will crack apart and fail over time. Is your life worth a few bucks? Steel shims will last forever and are VERY safe. Also great for correcting castor angles on front and rear Leaf spring axles. Improper castor is caused by longer shackles and can cause sloppy handling at highway speeds

Axle shims will work on all Toyotas equipped with a solid axle and leaf spring suspension.
