The Old Man Emu kit comes with these standard..

I run these, in all fairness I have had one shock snap, but here is the reason I would go OME over Rancho anyday.

The day I snapped mine, I got straight down to the ARB shop which has them in stock, most of the time, if they don't, its an overnight courier from Melb.

Rancho's, you might be lucky, if not you'll have to wait till you get one from the states.

OME all the way. Easy to install, get way more than 2" and Aussie made.

ARB in Thomastown (VIC) told me that the Nitrocharger Sport shocks for the JK will be available towards the end of the year. I am told they are a softer shock designed for the US market. If they are as good as they are being hyped to be, I might have to wait till then for mine

Just had OME fitted to mine - only driven it on the road so far but it's a big improvement - The Shocks are the normal NitroChargers
