1.8" Tacoma 1998-2004 Toyota 4WD Lift Kit (w/Nito Plus Shocks) by Old Man Emu

Old Man Emu's 1002K 1.8-inch suspension system for the Toyota Tacoma is engineered to improve ride quality, control, load-carrying capacity, and ride height. When planning an off-road build, it's essential to consider any heavy components you plan to add, as they can gradually compress your suspension and cause vehicle sag. Choosing an Old Man Emu integrated suspension kit helps prevent this issue, as their engineers have carefully tuned and matched suspension components for various weight ranges.

This lift kit includes Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus front struts and rear shocks, featuring a twin-tube design with an outer reserve tube to protect internal components during off-road use. The Nitrocharger Plus is an ideal upgrade for 4WD enthusiasts seeking enhanced vehicle control, comfort, ride height, and load-carrying capacity. The front struts are paired with new front coil springs, providing 1.8 inches of front lift for additional fender/tire clearance.

In the rear, Old Man Emu Darkar leaf springs provide 2-inches of lift. These premium springs are engineered to provide optimum ride performance irrespective of the operating conditions the vehicle's suspension is required to work under. Feature-packed, a set of Emu Dakar leaf springs will deliver vastly improved ride, handling, and load-carrying capability.

Dakar Rear Leaf Spring Features

• Load: Designed for vehicle with no constant load
• Draw tapered and diamond-cut leaves: Ensure the load is progressively distributed over a larger surface area, reducing the high stresses that develop at leaf ends. This increases ride quality and protection against leaf breakage, significantly increasing the spring life.
• Bolt clamps and liners: The leaf clamps are bolted to allow the installation of anti-squeak nylon liners.
• Fully scragged and load tested: Scragging ensures the spring takes a permanent 'set', reducing the risk of sagging. Load testing ensures the spring meets the required specifications.
• Military wrap: Designed to provide added safety.
• Anti-friction pads: Grazeable nylon interleaf liners reduce friction at the leaf tips, where the load is the greatest.
• Flat axle seat area: Allows a positive, safe axle mount, reducing spring stress and increasing spring life.
• Shot peening: The tension side of all leaves is shot peened to reduce spring stress. This process can double a spring's life.
• Two-stage leaf pack: This feature is featured on most rear springs for optimum comfort. When unladen, the vehicle is largely riding on the primary stage, with the secondary stage providing additional support when a heavy load is added.
