Designed for Superior Performance

At Old Man Emu, everything from the smallest bolt to the most intricate of bypass shock absorbers is developed and overseen by a fully employed team of ride control engineers. This team has access to an unrivaled arsenal of design software and hardware to ensure a seamless harmony between Old Man Emu parts and the rest of the vehicle.While maximum off-road capability is the intention, as new vehicles become more and more advanced, Old Man Emu continues to put a large emphasis on compatibility. The company’s kits are designed to work in tandem with the various stability controls and driving modes each individual application is outfitted with.

Birds of a Feather

So, why an Emu? Well, here in the states we’re unfamiliar with this large flightless bird, but over in Australia, home of Old Man Emu, they’re a dime a dozen. If you haven’t seen one of these creatures run, it’s a sight to behold. The emu can traverse effortlessly over nearly any type of terrain, all while their 
powerful legs absorb all the impact, keeping the rest of the upper body quiet and still. This is precisely the effect that a superiorly engineered suspension should have on a vehicle. Old Man Emu wants its customers to be emu-like on the road and trail—swift, quiet, and without unnecessary motion.

Suspension upgrades and lift kits aren’t like soft tops or bumpers. They’re complicated, multi-component systems that solve a solution to a problem. Poorly designed kits can ruin the driving characteristics of a vehicle, squash its capability, and endanger a driver and passengers. Instead of blindly picking an arbitrary height to “lift” a vehicle to, Old Man Emu offers systems and solutions that are carefully tuned to match the load carrying, steering characteristics, and comfort that the driver desires.

Old Man Emu doesn’t get caught up in the lift measuring contest prevalent in the aftermarket today. The company provides precise components to maximize off-road prowess and not compromise a vehicle’s geometry and drivability.
