Old Man Emu
Old Man Emu is ARB's suspension brand, started in Australia in 1976 and owned by ARB since 1988. OME builds matched shock and spring systems for touring and loaded 4x4s, so the truck rides well with gear on board rather than just sitting taller.

Old Man Emu FAQs
Is Old Man Emu the same company as ARB?
Yes. Old Man Emu is ARB's suspension brand. ARB bought OME in 1988, and ARB USA handles OME warranty claims in the US.
What's the difference between Nitrocharger Plus, MT64 and BP-51?
Nitrocharger Plus is OME's heavy-gauge twin-tube shock. MT64 is a large-body aluminum monotube with digressive valving, built to shed heat on long rough roads. BP-51 is OME's bypass shock, and it adjusts on the vehicle.
How do I pick the right OME spring rate?
Choose by the weight your truck carries all the time, such as a steel bumper, winch, drawers or a rooftop tent. Light, medium and heavy rates are listed on each spring and kit.
How long is the Old Man Emu warranty?
ARB covers OME suspension for 3 years with unlimited miles for personal use. Wear items like bushes, shackles, pins and U-bolts are covered for 1 year or 25,000 miles.
How fast do Old Man Emu parts ship?
In-stock parts typically ship in 24-48 hours. Some items are special order through ARB USA and take longer, so check the product page or call us for a current estimate.
Do I need extra parts to install OME suspension?
Some shocks and coilovers need a vehicle fit kit, and some lifts call for spacers or other parts. Each listing notes what's required, and kit listings show what's in the box.
