Product Description

The Old Man Emu 63048 is a Nitrocharger Plus rear shock absorber for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ and TJ Unlimited (LJ) with 2-2.5 inches of suspension lift. Engineered by ARB's Old Man Emu suspension team, the Nitrocharger Plus combines off-road dependability with smooth on-road driving in an affordable package. Unlike universal-fit shocks, the 63048 is specifically tested and tuned for the Wrangler TJ platform, with vehicle-specific damping calibrated for different load configurations and driving conditions. The twin-tube body provides added protection in rough terrain while the nitrogen gas charge ensures consistent, fade-free damping performance across extended off-road use.

The Nitrocharger Plus is designed to minimize body roll, enhance steering response, and deliver a more controlled ride whether navigating challenging off-road landscapes, towing, carrying heavy loads, or cruising on the highway. For optimal performance, pair with OME vehicle-specific coil springs matched to your load and lift requirements. Old Man Emu suspension systems have always prioritized ride quality over ride height, and the Nitrocharger Plus carries this philosophy forward with precision-tuned valving that eliminates the need for costly post-installation adjustments. Sold individually -- order two for a complete rear axle set. Manufactured by Old Man Emu, a division of ARB 4x4 Accessories.
