Suspension:
Old Man Emu 4” suspension lift kit by ARB has undergone countless hours of engineering and testing.
4 inch lift is achieved by linear rate springs using X5K high grade steel tuned to provide compliant ride on road while maintaining off road performance.
Both front and rear Nitrocharger Sport shocks have vehicle specific valving tuned for optimal blend of ride control and comfort. Shock lengths have been optimized for maximum down travel while retaining factory drive shafts, brake lines and shock mounts.
To center and fine tune the location of the front axle, Old Man Emu has developed an adjustable forged track bar as a replacement to the original. A Hi grade 4140 forged steel adjustable track bar was chosen for it’s superior strength, durability and freedom to optimize design.
A rear Track Bar relocation bracket was developed to address the positioning of the rear track bar. This relocation bracket not only centers the axle but also raises the rear roll center to provide positive rear stability. Old Man Emu engineers have used Design Solid Modelling and FEA to ensure strength and durability.
A bump stop spacer kit is used to ensure a larger diameter tire is kept off the body work and optimizes shock extended and compressed lengths to allow maximum compression and rebound travel.
New longer front and rear sway bar links have been developed to correct sway bar alignment due to increased lift. The rear link is the factory style with two ball joints. The front link has an upper ball joint and the lower has a disconnect function using a greasable pin.
The steering damper has been specifically tuned for the Jeep JK to address front end wobbles initiated by anything from worn ball joints to out of balance large diameter tires.
Brake line relocation brackets have been developed to reroute factory brake lines to work with this kits’ extended shock lengths. A handbrake relocation bracket lowers the brake line mounting position to relieve stress on brake lines resulting from the higher ride height.
In addition to the Old Man Emu Kit, advanced geometry control arm drop brackets have been used. These durable drop brackets help reset JK control arm angles to a more natural and comfortable geometry. By reducing the operating angle of the front control arms, the force applied to the arm when hitting a bump is now directed up into the springs instead of being absorbed into the frame. These drop brackets allow the JK with 4in of lift to operate more like stock, with a more appropriate geometry to increase force on the front wheels. More force means more traction in straight line braking and reduced weight shifting and inertia when braking during a curve.
The Old Man Emu suspension has had its well know yellow shock absorbers sprayed in black Raptor paint.
Wheels and Tyres
Huge 20” x 9" Fully cast race proven KMC XD Rockstar 2 alloy wheels fitted with 35” x 12.5” Atturo Trail blade Tyres.
An AEV procal module has been used to re-calibrate the speedo and gearbox with the oversize tyres.

Sill protection
Smittybilt SRC Side armour utilises a dual girder system provides the ultimate protection for the sides and under section of the Wrangler. SRC Side armour provides protection as well as a step at the same time. Finished in the same matte black textured powder as the front and rear bumpers.
Styling
Monster grill and AEV heat reduction hood give aggressive style.
Bushwacker extended flares give full width coverage and custom styling.
Due to wider stance from the offset wheels and wide tyres, the Bushwacker extended flares keep the vehicle legal by providing extra tyre coverage.
With their recessed stainless steel bolts and massive presence, Pocket StyleFender Flares are a Bushwacker original manufactured in the USA. They're custom-designed for the Jeep Wrangler to complement oversized tyres and high-clearance suspension.
Lighting
The factory headlights have been upgraded with Vision X Vortex LED headlight finished in black chrome. Legal and engineered for the UK market the Vortex LED Headlight also comes packed with an extremely powerful high-beam, and a wide spread low beam. With such diversity in beam pattern, you can rest assured that you’ll have to right lighting for the right scenario at any given time. Equipped with a Halo LED Ring, the headlights features a bright halo ring that can be active as a day time running light without having the low beam or high beams on. Having a 7″ halo on the front of your vehicle will not only turn heads, but also provide you with the optimal lighting options for the right conditions.
Front fog light have also been upgraded to Vision X Optimus LED units. Neatly integrated into the front bumpers these light are E marked and have a day time running halo that work with the vehicles side lights.
