ARB Old Man Emu (OME) Lift Kit / Leveling Kit for 1996 Toyota Tacoma

Each lift kit is sold in front/rear pairs or complete sets (for all 4 wheels) and includes a combination of coilovers, shocks / struts, springs, rear leaf springs, and rear lift blocks. Components vary per application. ARB tests all their lift kits on 4WD applications only (RWD fitments have not been officially verified).

Off-roading can be a very demanding hobby on your Toyota Tacoma's suspension. ARB OME (Old Man Emu) Lift / Leveling Kits provide the best bang for your buck when it comes to upgrading the suspension of your Toyota Tacoma. Each kit is tailored made for your specific model and even provides different weight ranges depending on the load you put on your Toyota Tacoma.

Load Ranges are rated as such (see notes on your application for more specific ranges):

• Standard Load: Factory weight range.
• Medium Load: Medium Loads can be range from Factory to about 330 lbs over factory.
• Heavy Load: Heavy Loads are generally 600 lbs or more over factory.

Load Notes: The Load Range ratings help in selecting the appropriate kit for vehicles with heavier or additional equipment over factory (i.e. steel bumpers, winches, storage system, etc.). The factory springs and shocks could otherwise be overloaded on these types of heavier setups, hindering vehicle performance, handing, and safety. Also, some kits combine different front and rear load ratings (Medium front, Heavy rear, etc.). Read all notes to ensure you select the best kit for your needs.

ARB Old Man Emu kits are sold in different configurations and shock options, each providing their own benefits and advantages to suit your specific needs and off-road capability of your Toyota Tacoma's setup.

Nitro Plus Kit:

• The Nitro Plus kits include ARB OME (Old Man Emu) Nitrocharger shocks / struts and accompanying springs. These shocks offer a 5 position adjustable perch to allow for changing the height and load capacity. The twin tube body is well suited for rough terrain and the tough heavy gauge steel tube construction increases strength. The high-flow piston combined with nitrogen gas reduces aeration and keeps temperatures low. Multi-disc compression valving allows for maximum ride and handling. Kits will have a combination of shocks / struts, springs (front, rear, or both), and some options will include leaf springs when applicable.

BP51 Kit:

• The BP51 kits offer the ultimate in comfort and rugged suspension performance. Each 51BP shock / strut includes a 51mm bypass (where the name is derived from) and a reservoir for increased oil capacity. Unlike many other adjustable shocks / struts, which usually adjust compression only, these ARB OME (Old Man Emu) BP51 shocks / struts also adjust rebound as well. This provides a smoother operation over the most uneven terrain. The velocity sensitive damping works across the entire range of movement, using the bypass and larger oil capacity to it's advantage. The adjustable collars allow you to adjust the compression and dampening force while on your Toyota Tacoma. Each kit uses specifications dedicated to your specific Toyota Tacoma and allows for heavier loads to be carried. Kits will have a combination of shocks / struts, springs (front, rear, or both), and some options will include leaf springs when applicable

MT64 Kit:

• The ARB OME (Old Man Emu) MT64 kits are specially designed for the needs of overland heavy and extreme weight Toyota Tacomas. The massive 64mm bore (where the name is derived from) excels at heat dissipation, allows a larger oil capacity, and accepts a bigger piston. This combination provides massive weight load capacity while maintaining a refined ride. The adjustable spring perch provides not only ride height adjustment but increasing load capacity as well. The aerospace grade aluminum body dissipates heat faster than the standard steel options, while still maintaining durability. Digressive valving instantly reacts to changing surface conditions. Each kit is vehicle specific and provides unparalleled comfort, load capacity, and refinement. Kits will have a combination of shocks / struts, springs (front, rear, or both), and some options will include leaf springs when applicable.
