Reviews: ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport Shocks

Shocks are great. Got these to replace a different brand that was leaking. The shocks were well packaged, arrived quickly and went in with no hassle. Very happy with the purchase. Beware the myriad spring and shock calving combos. If you know what you’re looking for it’s super easy.

Received what I ordered, shocks ride really nice on my XJ, packaging was sufficient and items shipped quick. 4WP website was easy to navigate and the length info on these shocks was what helped me know I made the right choice.

High quality, better than factory, suspension parts! Excellent ride

These shocks are great! Paired with new springs the ride on my WK2 is perfect!

I ordered my shock online, and maybe it was my fault or the 4WP website match, but it didn’t fit. So two trips, twice the shop time, but they stuck with their quote. Thanks!

I had previously installed OME coilovers for the front, and a lift block kit to the rear. I bought these to complete my suspension conversion from OEM to OME. I also added the FK29 kit just for insurance in case I had vibration issues from the driveline. Install is easy enough. It’s a little tighter on the bottom mount and lining up the bolt holes was the biggest challenge. I took it for a quick test drive on the road and light trails. The rear feels stiffer than OEM. Most evident when going over speed bumps. On the trails, it soaks up the washboards, dips, and bumps easily. It was not harsh, but definitely provides more feedback than stock. I will update after more road and trail use.

Orignially had OME shocks and springs but then went LCOG. With 0 lift I switched to Bilstein 5100s. I was so despleased with the 5100s that I added coil spacers and switched right back to OME. Never looking back!
