What is the purpose of the nylon interleaf pads?

The re-greasable nylon interleaf pads are placed between the spring leaves. Their main job is to reduce friction where the leaves meet, which helps prevent squeaking and provides a smoother ride.

How does the two-stage leaf pack improve the ride?

A two-stage leaf pack is designed to flex differently depending on the load. Under light loads, it offers a more comfortable, compliant ride. When carrying heavier loads, the additional leaves engage to provide increased support and prevent sagging.

What does 'shot peened' mean for the leaf spring's life?

Shot peening is a process where small metal beads are fired at the spring surface. This creates compressive stress on the surface, which helps to reduce overall stress within the metal, making the spring more resistant to fatigue and increasing its lifespan.

Product Details

Old Man Emu, known for their robust suspension components, offers this EL049R leaf spring designed for the D2 Bt50 and Ranger models from 2006 onwards. This spring is built to give you a better ride, whether you're hauling gear for work or heading out for some off-road fun. It's a well-built part that aims to make a noticeable difference in how your vehicle handles and carries loads.

What sets these springs apart is their attention to detail. They feature re-greasable nylon pads between the leaves to cut down on friction and noise, and a flat axle seat area for a secure mount that also reduces stress on the spring itself. Most rear springs, including this one, use a two-stage leaf pack design. This means the spring behaves differently under light loads versus heavy loads, giving you a more comfortable ride when empty and better support when you're carrying weight. The leaf clamps are bolted, allowing for the installation of anti-squeak liners, and the springs are load-tested, shot peened to increase their lifespan, and feature a military wrap for added safety.

When you're installing these, remember they are designed to work best when paired with Old Man Emu shocks. This combination is what really brings out the improved ride and handling capabilities that OME is known for.
