The ARB Old Man Emu 2" suspension lift kit for the Land Rover Discovery 1, Defender 90/110, and Range Rover Classic is a complete shock and spring package built for these iconic British 4x4 platforms — delivering 2" of lift with a substantial improvement in ride quality, handling, and off-road capability over the aging factory suspension. Engineered and tested in Australia's outback, OME suspension is the trusted choice for serious Land Rover touring and off-road builds globally.
The kit pairs OME's Performance Nitrocharger shocks with medium weight springs — matched to the weight and geometry of these platforms for a balanced result on road and off. The Nitrocharger shocks feature an 18mm induction-hardened, chromed steel shaft for maximum durability, a check valve for consistent gas pressure under hard off-road use, and a Teflon-coated guide bush to minimize heat buildup during extended use.
