I still have yet to put a pair of OME leaf spring on my F250, but if you haven’t seen those springs before, they’re really sturdy! They’ve got shims, greasable anti-friction pads, polyurethane bushings, and they’re military wrapped. Pretty much they’re the last springs I’ll ever need.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Thanks RCPrinceDW, greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi Gvat, thanks for the message. An OME suspension upgrade would certainly improve the ride handling and load carrying ability on your D22. You're best to contact your local ARB stockist for full details and pricing.

[@rollybuegge5683]

ARB have done my lift and the vehicle drives and handles better it is so much smoother on the rear end,top job ARB

[@RCPRINCEDW]

Lords of ARB is very good video, greetings from Venezuela.

[@dennisfossey4312]

I'm getting the Old Man Emu leaf springs installed on my Nissan Xterra soon. Should be a good ride once installed.

[@reginaldfaxworthington5353]

cool

[@rollybuegge5683]

ARB are going to lift my 79 series 45 mm next week with of course old man emu gear, another suspension supplier did not make me feel that they were competent in doing the job , I also have another 79 with old man emu shocks and steering damper and they are still going strong

[@10bz6d6]

Thank you for the informative video. I'd like to see videos about old Toyota Hilux SFA trucks.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi Dawson, you can check out all of the options for your particular vehicle on our new Old Man Emu website. oldmanemu(dot)com(dot)au.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi there. Nothing planned for the WJ at this stage but we'll keep your request in mind if the opportunity arises.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi C Fusco, we certainly still sell OME components for the TJ Wrangler. Contact your nearest stockist for all of the options.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi Brittenv1000, you sure can. Arbil 4x4 is our distributor in the UK. Give them a shout.

[@gerardo.razzeto]

do you have any set up videos for a Jeep Cherokee (XJ) ? I know it's an old vehicle but very use for off road

[@wolf432]

I was looking into the OME suspension for my truck but found out they don't make it for my truck so I stuck with stock suspension till something needs to be replaced. I got a 1997 Chevy K1500

[@zapdotshimmy]

is there a chance you could do a video for a WJ grand cherokee?

[@SSS-rl3ll]

I am getting a pre 1979 land cruiser fj40, I am going to use it for about the same amount off on road as off road and occasionally might pull a small off road trailer and/ or enough gas and supplies for 2-3 days out in the bush. I'm going to run 33" tires and drop a chevy 350 into the mix. what duty suspension would you recommend (the chevy is 200 pounds lighter than the stock inline6

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Unfortunately not, Kumbackquatsta. Looks like a nice touring rig though!

[@Bulldogfishmaster]

Got a stock 97 4runner wanna mild lift any suggestions?

[@abdallahmoussa1983]

I have a 2016 nissan patrol 4800vtc and am looking for some good confort shocks and springs that allow an inch and a half lift only. Is it available?

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi there, no XJ videos at this stage unfortunately.

[@Desert_stormh]

[@carlosandrescepeda4977]

[@brittenv1000]

[@mr.fixitayala310]

[@thac0017]

Hi, i have a nissan navara d22, i mainly use it for farming but the road i drive on is pretty smooth. However i like to use it more often to go camping and perhaps ride it along the beaches. I like to be on the safe side where things dont go wrong, do u recommend i should get an OME? and how much does it cost?

[@270wsm140gr]

ARB I want your full kit fr 12 Tacoma v6 4wd I'm thinking heavy/stock kit,but want lift that'll give me 2.75" front,rear , I want rear to handle heavy loads like firewood,boards,ect.thinking dakar leads, I'm not worried about weight in front yet,what can u suggest what kits and coils thanks...

[@kumbackquatsta]

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi Farid, check out the suspension selector on our new Old Man Emu website for vehicle specific info. oldmanemu(dot)com(dot)au.

[@Fuscoooo]

Why dont u guys sell lifts for TJs any more?

[@paklurah1]

can i get an improvement by changing the shock absorber only while keeping the original spring?

[@tobythegreat8760]

Have you done it?

[@DanteSpec]

Hey guys do you sell OME products in 507 Panama? Im looking a lift for my 08 Navara

[@l.a.m7645]

Can you do the same video but with a Jeep JKU?

[@masalamudau4938]

Hello ,what are the dimensions of the old man front shock absorbers for land cruiser 70 series 2002 model? I measured about 500mm while the vehicle is stationary,so i need to buy replacement shock absorbers for my bakkie and i have no idea what to buy,i got the bakkie with the lift kit. I am in South Africa

[@roddddders]

Hi. I have a 2007 ranger 4 x 4 and I live in nz. I occasionally will be using a slide on camper weight 800kg+ and I'm thinking of adjustable rear shocks so I can adjust when load or no load. Do you have anything?

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi Rod, in this instance, the spring will be the most important aspect for your Ranger. Unfortunately, we don't have a product that is adjustable at current.

[@markpaulene1966]

hello,just like to say I had OME springs and shocks on my car after reading how good they were so tracked down a supplier here in the UK, had them fitted worked fine at first after maybe two years ish found I was getting a bit of bounce on the rear after inspection they had failed was not very impressed after doing so much research shortly after the fronts failed so now I still have OME springs but not shocks and cost so much?

[@craftandgaming3149]

I have 2008 d22 I was wondering if new torsion bars would make my ride worst I have new shocks n springs no weight up front

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi there, you'd be best to contact your local ARB store/stockist who'll be able to get a full understanding of your vehicle and your intended use before recommending anything.

[@michaelluther2736]

Hey ARB If i wanted to set up my car for the city trips and the occasional off road trip (like the first car) what is that set up called. and would it add height to the car. Cheers MIke

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Michael Luther Hi Mike, best to speak with your local ARB store regarding a package to suit your needs. There are many variables to consider, like vehicle load and what you may be towing.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi Perfumesss, you sure can. If you contact our Exports Department ([e-mail]), they'll be able to point you in the direction of your nearest OME stockist.

[@asadmo]

hey ARB, I've got a 97 Nissan Patrol Gq it has everything original and obviously weary. I want to upgrade to something that's more comfortable and absorbing I prefer a solid feel. I have an oem stainless steel bull bar and an electric winch upfront. also want a 2" lift. pls suggest a kit for me and where to buy from online. thanks Asad

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

There appears to be no rust in Australia…. I wish Michigan would ban it. 🙄. Love my OME on my Cherokee!!

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

Hi Dante, we sure do. Our stockist is: Panama Linings S.A. Via Porras, 100mts from Via Espana, Panama City, Panama Phone: [phone] lacasadel4x4(dot)com

[@MrGREENMAN46]

can old mitsubishi pajero LO49 install this equipment?

[@xxxjanokickxxx]

I have a land rover discovery with old man emu sport shocks and the ride is hard as hell. After two years of use (not abuse), one of the rear shocks was broken at the top. I`ll buy another ome sport because I still trust in their quality, but my first impression was very dissapointing.

[@ARB4x4Accessories]

xxxjanokickxxx Sorry to hear of the issue. OME suspension is covered by a 3 year warranty, so your local distributor will be able to assist you in having this replaced. Failures are very uncommon, so it is disappointing to hear this has been your experience with the suspension.
