Why change your suspension kit? 

The 4x4 suspension kits often offer an upgrade and a reinforcement, a resistance compared to the original. It is essential to change the suspension since the original one is often not adapted to travel or raids. Raising the suspension allows to better attack the crossing and makes the 4x4 more skilful. Reinforcing the suspension allows you to support, without risk of breakage, the overload due to your onboard equipment or Canopy Hardtoproof tent, etc.

What is the purpose of a suspension damper?

A shock absorber on a car is an essential suspension component that absorbs shocks and vibrations caused by road irregularities. It helps keep the wheels in constant contact with the ground, improving handling, stability and ride comfort. The shocks also reduce excessive spring rebound, allowing for more precise vehicle control and shorter braking distances. Old Man Emu shocks are renowned for their quality and exceptional off-road performance. Their rugged and durable design makes them suitable for the most demanding conditions.
