What is the benefit of the two-stage leaf pack design?

The two-stage leaf pack is featured on most rear springs to provide optimum comfort. This design helps balance ride quality with the spring's ability to handle loads.

How do the nylon interleaf pads help?

The re-greasable nylon interleaf pads are located at the leaf tips. They reduce friction between the leaves, which can lead to a quieter and smoother ride.

What does 'shot peened' mean for these springs?

Shot peening is a process used to reduce spring stress and increase its lifespan. It involves bombarding the spring's surface with small spherical media, which creates compressive residual stresses.

Product Details

The Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs are built with a two-stage leaf pack design, which is common on most rear springs to give you the best balance of comfort and load-carrying ability. These springs are part of ARB's integrated 4x4 suspension systems, meaning they're designed to work with other OME components for a complete setup. They're shot peened and fully scragged to reduce stress and prevent sagging over time, helping to ensure a longer lifespan for your suspension.

You'll find re-greasable nylon pads between the leaves at the tips, which cut down on friction and noise. The leaf clamps are bolted on and include anti-squeak liners, further contributing to a quieter ride. Plus, the flat axle seat area is designed for a secure axle mount, reducing stress on the spring itself. These springs are load tested to make sure they meet the required specifications for your Hi-Lux.

When paired with Old Man Emu shock absorbers, these leaf springs can significantly change how your vehicle handles, both on and off-road, and improve its ability to carry loads.
