Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / April 2005Old Man Emu
Anyone care to give me their thoughts on Old Man Emu suspension systems. My hopes are for a better ride on rocky and rutted roads with no intentional, or extreme, rock climbing. Thanks Bob Walker walkerent@cox.net Bob- What are you planning on putting the OME suspension under? Is it a daily driver / weekend wheeler? I have a 2" Skyjacker under my 89 Cherokee and it does well. High enough to do easy wheeling, low enough to not worry on the street. I opted for the Skyjacker "Hydro" shocks over the "Nitro" because they are supposed to ride better on the road. I find the ride better than stock. Hope this helps..

It's for a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Limited that has already seen several thousand miles of southwest backroads, trails and washes in the past 3 years with nothing more than a set of BF Goodrich TA/KOs and the rocker panels removed. I don't necessarily need any more clearance but the extra articulation will surely be welcome. I was mainly looking for comments about the product and reliability.

If it has rear leaf springs, the add-a-leaf (what I have) will lift it, the ride will suck for a few days, but it does not flex very well. A set of 2" lift shackles will fit the bill. I have coil spacers on the front my XJ and it flexes very well. If you decide to go spacers, be sure they are poly. HTH. Carl > Carl: The comment was helpful.
