Suspension -- Old Man Emu (OME) DP-51

[CapChimiChangas]

Has Anyone installed the DP-51 in their Gladiator? If so, would it be compatible with a 2024 Sport S? Where can I still find the OME DP-51?

No one uses them and last I knew they didn't support the Jt. I would look for something else.

I don't think they ever released them.

Thanks. I asked because I saw the OME, and that thing is beefy the shaft is like 1" or 1"1/2'. Plus, it has the same adjustments as a RockShox fork for MTB. In essence, it looks great and seems to be great; people running that thing simply love it.

And since it is compatible with JK/JL, I assumed it could fit a JT (I assume).
Anyway, Thanks, In the worst case, I will look into Bilstein.

Yep not officially it is just that the Wrangler and the JT share so much of their suspension engineering I was expecting someone to have (maybe) gived a try.

Anyway thanks, if you heard anyone who had tried let me know.

It really is a shame they didn’t bring that series to the JT. OME, especially the BP51 series, is a phenomenal suspension on the Yota side, I haven’t gotten to experience it yet on the Jeep side. Not a tall lift by any means across the board, but great performance if you just want to be in the 2.5-3.5” lift range. And for the offgrid/overlanders they have a heavy load setup to combat saggy ass from weight.

Agreed, it is a great piece of equipment.

Something to keep in mind with the OME line is that there is no aftermarket support because ARB will not sell parts for them, so all service currently has to be sent to the in Washington state.
