Storm Jeeps - STORM-8, 2013 Jeep Wrangler 2 Door 2.8 CRD

Suspension

The Storm Jeeps suspension has been uprated to a ARB Old man Emu Sport system with a 2.5” height increase.

While ride height increases are attained with this kit, emphasis is placed on ride control improvements. Further fine tuning is achieved as the springs are precisely matched to a corresponding set of Old Man Emu shock absorbers, delivering a fully integrated system, designed specifically to suit the Jeep. The spring rate has been specifically engineered for the 2 door diesel variant. Extra weight from aftermarket equipment has been accounted for in the spring rate to ensure the suspension is optimum for the Jeep.

The Old Man Emu JK lift uses the Nitrocharger Sport Shock, the most advanced and innovative 4×4 shock absorber on the market. Designed by a dedicated team of OME engineers through an exhaustive vehicle specific development program, Nitrocharger Sport 4×4 shock absorbers deliver the best control, durability and most comfortable ride over all terrain.

Brake line relocation brackets have been developed to reroute factory brake lines to work with this kits’ extended shock lengths; this relieves stress on brake lines resulting from the higher ride height.

Front sway bar features quick disconnects, allowing for the front sway bar to be disconnected for off road use and increasing suspension articulation.

An Old Man Emu heavy duty steering stabiliser / damper has also been fitted, with increased compression and extension damping performance. This improved performance will assist in the overall ride and control of the JK Wrangler.

Fender Flares
