Construction & Design

Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus shocks are built with high-quality materials and precision engineering to withstand the demands of off-road driving while maintaining excellent on-road manners. The shock bodies are constructed from robust steel components designed to resist corrosion and mechanical wear. Internally, the shocks feature advanced valving systems that adapt to changing loads and terrain, ensuring consistent damping performance.

The design incorporates a nitrogen gas charge to reduce foaming and maintain shock responsiveness during extended use. This technology helps deliver a stable and controlled ride, even when subjected to heavy loads or rough trail conditions.

These shocks are direct replacements for the factory front shocks and require no major modifications to the suspension system. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque settings and alignment, but experienced enthusiasts can perform the upgrade with standard suspension tools.

Because these shocks are vehicle-specific and tuned for lifted applications, they provide optimal performance without the need for additional adjustments or components. Pairing them with Old Man Emu coil springs will maximize ride quality and handling characteristics.
