Old Man Emu Shock Absorber/Reservoir Mounting Kit VM80010038

The front reservoir placement required a bracket to be developed to mount the reservoir to the chassis rail inside the fender just below the headlight. Special consideration was taken to cater to both the Sport and Rubicon models as the headlight design varies. The rear reservoir was able to utilize the piggyback mount because sufficient room was available. To fit BP-51 Shock Absorbers into the front of the Jeep Wrangler JL, the OME engineers had to design and fabricate specific lower shock mounts to prevent contact between the shock absorber body and chassis rail when the shock is fully extended. To provide more space the lower shock mount is relocated outwards. The rear shock mount has also been relocated to provide clearance between the shock absorber body and the sway bar at full droop. The rear mount not only relocates the bottom mount but also provides a skid and protection for off-road use. Consideration of the mount design included ease of fitment of the shaft guard which protects the shaft against stone damage
