About Old Man Emu
Old Man Emu, an ARB suspension brand, develops matched springs and dampers around vehicle load, ride height, and intended use. MT64 shocks combine large aluminum monotube bodies, digressive valving, and hydraulic top-out control for demanding loaded applications.
Related Parts
- No front shock or spring is linked because every companion component must match the exact Tacoma configuration, axle load, measured ride height, and complete suspension plan.
FAQ

Does it fit every Tacoma generation?No. The verified application is the 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma.
What is the damper body size?The MT64 uses a 2.8-inch monotube body for greater oil volume and heat management.
Is alignment required after rear-shock replacement?Inspect ride height and suspension geometry after installation and follow Toyota and ARB service guidance for any required alignment or calibration checks.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm the 2024-2026 Tacoma application, zero-inch rear lift, and measured 440-880-pound constant rear load before opening 1127K.
- Support the truck safely and inspect the rear springs, mounts, bushings, brake hoses, wiring, and suspension travel.
- Remove the original rear shocks using the current Toyota service sequence without allowing the axle to overextend hoses or wiring.
- Compare both MT64 shocks and supplied hardware with the original mounting arrangement before installation.
- Install the shocks in the documented orientation and torque all fasteners at the service-manual ride position.
- Cycle the suspension, verify clearance and hydraulic top-out operation, road-test carefully, and recheck the mounts after the initial service interval.
