Description
Here at Gwyn Lewis 4×4, we sell Old Man Emu Springs to match the shock absorbers for our Suspension kits.
We stock and sell a wide range of Old Man Emu springs to suit a vehicle’s needs.
The spring holds the vehicle up, they determine your ride height, shocks travel and length determines your axle travel (articulation off road), longer shocks mean more axle movement.
Old Man Emu Springs were mainly designed for load carrying. This is how a suspension lift will be given if Old Man Emu springs are used; however, from the wide range we can pick and choose springs to suit the vehicle’s weight and the customer’s preferred ride height.
Most Old Man Emu springs are handed. Place both springs on the floor; the tallest spring needs to be fitted to the heaviest side of the vehicle. On most vehicles, this is normally the driver’s side, however, if the vehicle has extra added weight to the passenger side, then you may need to fit the taller spring on the passenger side to level the vehicle out.
Gwyn has tried and tested each spring along with how much weight they can carry to be able to determine which spring will be needed for the vehicle. Please see the list below.
To help decide which springs are needed, it is useful to know what height the vehicle is sitting at. This is how you can measure your suspension lift the Gwyn Lewis 4×4 way.

Old Man Emu Coil Springs
This is a list of coil springs from lowest lift to tallest lift. This can vary from -10mm to +10mm, as it depends on the extra added weight to the vehicle.
Measurements are based on our own testing of standard vehicles without significant additional weight.
