Choosing the right suspension: Click Here

Whether you are travelling on-road, using your vehicle for green laning or competition purposes, or towing a caravan or trailer, the importance of a fully integrated 4×4 suspension system is paramount. Often, factory suspension setups cannot cope with extended heavy use and over time your springs can corrode or begin to sag. Shock absorbers can also become degraded or start to leak. Handling and load carrying can then suffer and eventually, if not replaced, components can fail. This could render the vehicle un-roadworthy and may even leave you stranded or cause an accident.

Old Man Emu suspension upgrades are designed for superior performance across all terrain, providing noticeable improvements to vehicle performance, increased load carrying capacity and control characteristics. These are high-grade kits with worldwide warranty support and every single component is developed and tested in-house by dedicated suspension engineers.

Get your vehicle ready for adventure with the most important upgrade of all – a premium suspension kit.

BP-51 High Performance Ride Control

Old Man Emu have developed an ultimate suspension solution for this vehicle model: BP-51 High Performance Bypass Ride Control. This is an optional kit upgrade and is the result of an exhaustive development process aimed at delivering the ultimate in both comfort and control. Unlike most other adjustable shock absorbers, which provide adjustment for compression only, the BP-51 range allows on vehicle, independent adjustability of both rebound and compression to offer class leading ride customisation that can be tailored to individual vehicle or trip requirements.

Selecting BP-51 options within the suspension kit will give you everything you need for installation including complete fitting hardware. This premium upgrade is designed for the driver who demands the best possible suspension performance, regardless of terrain.

Selecting the right kit for your vehicle weight and usage is very important. Most standard vehicles, without extra permanent weight, will benefit most from a medium-rate setup. Some kits are given a weight rating in kg, this applies to permanent front or rear accessory weight such as steel bumpers, winches, etc. Other kits are rated for "bull bar", "bar and winch" and so on; this refers to full-weight protection bumpers and bull bars.

4×4 Works are authorised and trained by Old Man Emu. We have skilled and award-winning suspension engineers available to answer any questions and help you choose the right setup.
