Toyota Tundra Old Man Emu Suspension Install - Doin' it Right - Four Wheeler Network
They have their drawbacks when subjected to hard trail use, such as this Toyota Tundra encounters on a routine basis as part of Colorado’s Stay the Trail program (see sidebar below). Strut spacers mount on top of the factory strut, so when the strut is in the neutral position, the steering, control arms, and CVs are not in the neutral position. In the middle of suspension travel, where most trucks live when used on the street and dirt roads, this is not a problem. If you use all of the suspension travel though, CV binding and even breakage can occur, since the CV axle essentially becomes the limiting factor to suspension extension (droop). Old Man Emu (OME) has a suspension that addresses all of these issues. The Old Man Emu suspension provides just 2 inches of lift height so it doesn’t require new knuckles or crossmembers, just quality struts and springs. While the cost is higher than a leveling kit, the OME suspension offers more wheel travel and a better ride than the strut spacers both on the street and the trail. Unlike most suspension manufacturers, Old Man Emu offers multiple lengths and spring rates for most of its suspension systems. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
