Emu Dakar Rear Leaf Spring

The Old Man Emu CS047R Dakar leaf spring is a rear suspension component designed for 2005-2010 Toyota Tacoma models. It utilizes a two-stage leaf pack that allows for a smooth ride when unladen, while the secondary stage provides increased support under heavy loads. The spring is constructed with draw-tapered and diamond-cut leaves to distribute stress evenly, along with shot-peened tension sides to reduce fatigue and increase component life. Key technical features include a military wrap for added safety, anti-friction nylon interleaf liners to reduce noise and wear, and a flat axle seat area for a secure, stress-reducing mount. Each unit is fully scragged to prevent sagging and undergoes load testing to ensure it meets strict specifications. It is configured with a 5+2 leaf setup, 40mm eye diameters, and a progressive spring rate of 182-392 lbs/inch, providing approximately 55mm of rear lift. Installation notes: This product is sold by the unit; verify that you have obtained both driver and passenger side springs for a complete replacement. Note that this specific model (CS047R) has been superseded in the marketplace by newer OME Dakar leaf spring packs such as the EL111R for certain applications. Ensure compatibility with your existing suspension setup and verify if your application requires the separate purchase of U-bolts or bushing kits, as these are often required for proper mounting.
