Old Man Emu - MT64 2" Overland Suspension Lift Kit – Toyota Tacoma 2016–2023
Old Man Emu MT64 2" Overland Suspension Lift Kit
Upgrade your Tacoma with the Old Man Emu MT64 Suspension System, engineered for drivers who want a premium balance of on-road comfort, off-road control, load-carrying capability, and long-distance overland performance.
The MT64 uses a large-bore monotube shock design combined with vehicle-specific tuning to provide improved damping, heat management, and suspension control over factory components.
With multiple front and rear load configurations available, you can configure the suspension around how your Tacoma is actually built — from a lightly equipped daily driver to a fully loaded overland setup.
Why Choose OME MT64?

- Available with approximately 2" rear lift
- Large 64mm piston
- Large monotube shock body
- Vehicle-specific damping
- Excellent heat dissipation
- Improved ride control on and off road
- Multiple front-load configurations
- Multiple rear-load configurations
- Optional Old Man Emu Upper Control Arms
- Designed for touring, overlanding and off-road use
- Complete vehicle-specific OME suspension system
MT64 Monotube Technology
Old Man Emu's MT64 combines a large 64mm piston with a monotube design to provide consistent damping and excellent thermal management during extended driving.
The increased oil volume and large piston help the shock maintain consistent performance over rough roads, trails, washboard terrain, and long-distance touring.
The result is a suspension system designed to provide increased control without sacrificing the ride quality expected from a premium overland suspension.
Choose Your Front Load
OME offers two front configurations so you can match the suspension to the amount of permanent equipment installed on your Tacoma.
2" Lift – Stock Front Load
Designed for Tacomas without significant permanent additional front-end weight.
Ideal for relatively stock trucks and lighter builds.
2" Lift – 220–330 lbs Additional Front Load
Designed for Tacomas carrying approximately 220–330 lbs of permanent additional front-end weight.
Ideal for vehicles equipped with combinations such as:
- Aftermarket front bumper
- Winch
- Skid plates
- Recovery equipment
- Other permanently installed front accessories
Choose your front suspension based on constant installed weight, not occasional cargo.
Choose Your Rear Suspension
Stock Height – Stock Rear Load
Retains the factory rear ride height while upgrading the Tacoma to MT64 rear shocks.
This is an excellent choice for customers who want approximately 2" of front lift while keeping the rear suspension at its existing height.
2" Lift – Standard Rear Load
Provides approximately 2" of rear lift using the appropriate OME rear leaf-spring system.
Ideal for daily-driven Tacomas, camping setups, and moderate overland builds without substantial permanent rear weight.
2" Lift – 600 lbs Constant Rear Load
Designed for heavily equipped overland Tacomas carrying approximately 600 lbs of constant additional rear load.
Ideal for builds equipped with permanent accessories such as:
- Camper systems
- Drawer systems
- Bed racks
- Rear bumpers
- Recovery equipment
- Tools and equipment
- Permanently carried overland gear
Important: The 600-lb configuration is designed around constant additional weight. It should not be selected simply because the truck occasionally carries heavy cargo.
Optional OME Upper Control Arms
Complete your MT64 suspension system with optional Old Man Emu UCA0005 Upper Control Arms.
Lifting the front suspension alters factory suspension geometry. OME upper control arms are engineered for lifted Tacoma applications and help provide improved alignment geometry and proper suspension operation.
Choose between:
Factory Upper Control Arms – Retains your existing factory UCAs.
OME Upper Control Arms – Adds a pair of OME UCA0005 upper control arms to your suspension package.
For customers building a complete overland suspension system, the OME UCA upgrade is recommended.
What's Included?
Kit contents vary depending on the front-load, rear-load, and UCA configuration selected.
Depending on your selected configuration, your MT64 suspension package may include:
- OME MT64 front suspension
- OME front coil springs
- OME MT64 rear shocks
- OME rear leaf springs on applicable rear-lift configurations
- Leaf-spring bushings and installation hardware on applicable configurations
- U-bolts on applicable configurations
- Greasable spring pins on applicable configurations
- Rear driveshaft spacer on applicable configurations
- OME UCA0005 Upper Control Arms when selected
Rear leaf springs are already included with the applicable 2" rear-lift kits and do not need to be purchased separately.
Built for Overlanding
MT64 is an excellent choice for Tacoma owners who want more than a basic lift kit but don't necessarily need the additional complexity of an adjustable remote-reservoir system.
The large-bore monotube design provides the damping control and thermal capacity needed for long-distance touring, loaded overland travel, rough roads, and recreational trail use while maintaining excellent everyday drivability.
