Old Man Emu FJ40 Lift Kit
Old Man Emu FJ40 Lift Kit and suspension components are perfect for those who want ride quality over ‘show’ quality. You may find taller or more heavily advertised suspension lifts on the market, but you will never find anything that ride more comfortably, has greater load capacity, or is more durable than Old Man Emu. If you truly are looking for the ‘best’ suspension and not just the most popular or one that temporarily sits an inch taller (most lifts sag quickly, not OME), then you have found the very best suspension on the planet for your Toyota.
40 series Leaf Springs
- Two-Stage Leaf Pack: A primary stage for smooth, comfortable ride when unladen, and secondary stage engaging progressively to provide extra support under heavy cargo or towing.
- Draw-Tapered and Diamond-Cut Leaves: Distributes the load evenly over a larger surface area to reduce high stress points at the ends of the leaves, improving ride quality & spring life.
- Shot-Peened Tension Side: The tension side of each leaf is shot-peened (bombarded with small spherical shots) to reduce internal metal stress, a process that can effectively double the lifespan of the spring.
- Anti-Friction Nylon Liners: Re-greasable nylon pads and interleaf liners sit at the leaf tips to minimize friction where the load is greatest, reduce noise, and prevent squeaking.
- Flat Axle Seat Area: Provides a secure and positive axle mount that lowers localized stress on the spring while maintaining proper arch height.
- Military Wrap Design: Extends the main leaf eyelet wrap to provide an extra layer of safety and structural security in case of primary leaf failure.
- Scragged and Load Tested: Fully scragged (pre-flexed to a permanent set) to eliminate initial settling and drastically reduce the risk of future sagging under load.
Toyota Landcruiser Prerunner Shock System
- Softer Ride. Low gas pressure makes shocks more forgiving and comfortable for everyday street driving. But valving & construction heavy duty for offroad use & abuse.
- Lower Seal Stress. Low internal pressures place less friction & physical stress on internal seals, extending component life.
- Damage Resistance. If outer casing receives a dent or ding from road debris, inner compression tube remains undamaged, functional.
- Independent Valving Control. Dual-valve designs separate compression and rebound movements, allowing fine-tuning without unwanted side effects on opposing cycles.
- Improved Ride Quality. Advanced valving systems absorb rough road impacts, reduce noise, vibration, & harshness.
- Better Handling and Stability. Nitrogen gas-charging and specialized control technologies reduce vehicle body roll, sway. Also, bounce during sudden lane changes or turns. Better control for higher speed offroad fun.
- Shorter Stopping Distances. Tires firmly planted on pavement helps vehicle brake faster, more securely in emergency, & more traction offroad.
- Extended Component Life. Restoring proper ride control and comfort prevents premature, uneven tire wear. Also, protects fragile steering and suspension parts from excessive shock damage.
- Enhanced Durability. Special anti-corrosion rod coatings, premium oil seals, and robust piston constructions help prevent fluid leaks and extend product lifespan.
- High Velocity Speed Sensitive Valving. The surge in fluid volume forces open internal shims or relief valves (often arranged in a shim stack) to manage the massive spike in energy, turning kinetic motion into controlled thermal heat without creating a dangerously rigid impact.
- Massive 1 5/8 Piston Assembly.
- Added Oil Capacity past the factory baselines to improve suspension performance, progression, and bottoming resistance
- Built-in Bumpstops
- Enhanced Suspension Flex 1-2″ more suspension flex at rear tires.
- Cellular Nitrogen Gas. Nitrogen Gas Charged. Microscopic, sealed pockets of gas trapped inside a dense, closed-cell foam sleeve rather than floating freely as a loose gas charge. More commonly known as foam cell technology
40 Series Old Man Emu Lift Kits
The Toyota Landcruiser is well known as THE classic 4WD vehicle on the planet. As good as it is though, ARB can make it better. No need to look any further, Toyota owners know that Old Man Emu/Dakar is the only suspension worthy of their vehicles.
Some folks might ask why OME/Dakar suspensions are not available in taller lifts? OME/Dakar’s philosophy is quality and sensibility without complications. OME/Dakar sizes their lifts such that there are no problems or modifications required to steering, braking, or drivetrain. Any taller and these items do become an issue. For most people, the extra inch or so isn’t worth all the headache and cost necessary. Do it right the first time with OME/Dakar!
