Rough terrain, washboard roads, and potholes can make any drive feel punishing. The Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus rear shock uses a twin-tube design to soak up impacts and smooth out the ride, keeping your vehicle settled when the ground gets uneven. With a 2.28 in body and 0.79 in shaft built from steel, it’s tuned to handle everything from daily commutes to rugged backroads while keeping your suspension composed and responsive.
When shocks overheat, they fade and lose control. This one stays consistent thanks to advanced nitrogen gas and oil technology that keeps damping steady, even in extreme temperatures. Whether you’re cruising highways or tackling rocky trails, it delivers reliable comfort and stability without the bounce or body roll that wears you out on long drives.
Dust, mud, and heat can destroy weak seals fast. These shocks are built tough with reinforced components and triple-lip oil seals that keep out dirt and moisture for long-lasting performance. From desert heat to muddy washouts, the durable steel body and rubber bushings stand up to real-world abuse so you can keep rolling without worry.
Upgrading your suspension shouldn’t require major modification. The Nitrocharger Plus is pre-tuned for direct fitment, designed to mount to factory locations for a straightforward installation. With precision vehicle-specific damping already dialed in, you get improved handling and comfort right out of the box—no guesswork needed.
For those already running Old Man Emu coil or leaf springs, this shock is the finishing touch that ties everything together. It’s tuned to work perfectly within that system, giving you balanced ride quality, better control, and off-road capability that feels cohesive across all four corners of your suspension. Comes with a 3-year warranty for added peace of mind.
