Many common Jeep® accessories like roof racks, bike racks, or tire carriers will add weight to a vehicle. Heavier add-ons like bumpers and winches can add a lot more. This will ask much more of a factory suspension and often times will require that the suspension be upgraded.

Old Man Emu’s 3072 front coil spring was developed for just this reason and they went to great lengths to design and test a spring that was model-specific for 2011-15 WK Jeeps®. OME wanted to replace the factory equipment, that was geared more for comfort, with a durable and reliable spring that could handle the added stress of extra weight under rougher conditions. Often manufacturers make coils that only add lift. Old Man Emu’s 3060 will not only add 1.75” of lift, but it will drastically increase load capacity and maintain an acceptable level of comfort WK owners have come to expect.

Aside from the major upgrade in load capacity over factory springs, another benefit is increased spring travel. This is crucial for driving on rougher terrain where bumps and berms are the norm. Seeing how the WK2 is a mid-sized SUV that was built for comfort and moderate off-road use, standard coil springs have a tendency to make contact with the bump stops and bottom out on tougher terrain.

The OME 3072 is a heavy-duty front coil spring for V6 gas engine WK2 Jeeps® from years 2011-15.
