ARB OME Gas Shocks

These ARB OME (Old Man Emu) Nitrocharger Sport shocks are built with a 2.5-inch diameter body, which allows for a larger oil volume. This larger oil capacity helps dissipate heat more effectively, especially during demanding off-road use or when carrying heavy loads. The internal valving is tuned to provide a comfortable ride on the street while still offering the control and responsiveness needed for challenging terrain.

ARB has focused on creating a shock absorber that works in harmony with the vehicle's original suspension components, or with their own OME upgrade kits. The Nitrocharger Sport uses a twin-tube design with a multi-stage valving system. This advanced system adjusts damping forces based on shaft speed, ensuring consistent performance whether you're cruising on the highway or navigating washboard roads. The piston rod is polished and chrome-plated for durability and smooth operation, and the seals are designed to prevent leaks and maintain performance over time. These shocks are filled with a nitrogen gas and oil mixture to prevent aeration and foaming, which can degrade damping performance under heavy use.

When installing these shocks, it's important to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper mounting and any specific requirements for your vehicle. While these shocks are designed as a direct replacement for many applications, they are often paired with OME springs and other suspension components to achieve a complete, balanced upgrade. This particular part number, 2122K, is a set of two shocks, intended for the front or rear axle depending on the vehicle application.
