The ARB Old Man Emu 2" suspension lift kit for the Land Rover Discovery Series II is a complete shock and spring package engineered specifically for the Disco 2 platform — delivering 2" of lift with a significant improvement in both on-road ride quality and off-road capability over the factory suspension. Developed and tested on Australia's most demanding outback terrain, OME suspension is the benchmark for Land Rover touring and off-road builds worldwide.
The kit pairs OME's Nitrocharger Sport shocks with medium weight coil springs — the correct spring rate for a standard-weight Discovery 2 that may carry a roof rack, recovery gear, or light touring equipment. The Nitrocharger Sport uses a unique twin-tube construction that combines the valving advantages of a monotube with the durability and design benefits of a twin-tube — instantly adapting to terrain changes for a controlled, comfortable ride on tarmac and the trail.
