Old Man Emu 2005 - 2023 Toyota Tacoma Leaf Springs # EL111R

Old Man Emu Tacoma Dakar Leaf Springs # EL111R. The advertised price includes 1 pair of Old Man Emu # EL111R Leaf Springs. These leaf springs will fit 2005-2023 Tacoma trucks but the actual lift height will vary depending on the model year and the amount of additional weight you have added to your truck. On the 2005-2015 trucks this leaf pack will provide between 2.50" and 2.75" inches of lift and on the 2016 - 2023 models closer to 2.00" inches.

The updated EL111R has the same number of leafs as the EL095R and one less leaf installed than the earlier generation CS047R. This makes the EL111R a Medium Duty pack that's better suited to Tacoma trucks not equipped with lots of permanently installed additional weight. If your Tacoma has been setup for Overland use (lots of permanently installed weight) OME will recommend their alternate Heavy Duty pack which is part number EL112R.

Product Notes:

These updated EL111R springs feature the original design spring clip retainers with plastic anti-squeak guides. The big news for the updated EL111R packs are the new leaf separation plates designed to reduce squeaking. As with all OME Dakar Leaf Spring packs the EL111R has a higher spring rate than the Factory Toyota leaf springs. Old Man Emu Dakar Leaf Springs do NOT include front or rear bushings. You can either attempt to reuse your existing bushings or purchase and install new ones (recommended). Longer than stock U-bolts will be required when installing these leaf springs and they are not included (available for purchase separately). Extended travel rear shock absorbers are highly recommended when installing OME Dakar Leaf Springs on any model year Tacoma. The OME Nitro series rear shocks are recommended for use with OME leaf springs and are available for purchase separately.

Product Features:

• Draw Tapered & Diamond Cut Leaves: Ensure the load is progressively distributed over a larger surface area, reducing the high stresses that develop at leaf ends. This provides increased ride quality and protection against leaf breakage, significantly increasing the spring life.
• Bolt Clamps and Liners: The leaf clamps are bolted to allow installation of anti squeak nylon liners.
• Fully Scragged and Load Tested: Scragging ensures the spring takes a permanent 'set' which reduces the risk of sagging. Load testing ensures the spring meets the required specification.
• Military Wrap: Designed to provide added safety.
• Anti Friction Pads: Interleaf liners reduce friction at the leaf tips where the load is the greatest.
• Flat Axle Seat Area: Allows a positive, safe axle mount reducing spring stress & increasing spring life.
• Shot Peening: The tension side of all leaves is shot peened to reduce spring stress. This process can double the life of a spring.
• Two-stage Leaf Pack: Featured on most rear springs for optimum comfort. When unladen the vehicle is largely riding on the primary stage, with the secondary stage providing additional support when a heavy load is added.
