OLD MAN EMU MT64
Big-Shock Performance. Built for the Real World.
Daily driving. Loaded travel. Towing. Backcountry. One suspension system built to handle all of it.
The Old Man Emu MT64 Suspension System hits the sweet spot for how most built Toyota Tundras are actually used.
At its core is a massive 64 mm monotube shock designed around increased oil volume, excellent heat management and vehicle-specific damping. The goal isn't simply more lift. It's better control, better load management and predictable performance whether you're commuting Monday morning or kilometres down a rough forestry road on Saturday.
For Tundra owners who want a serious suspension upgrade without external reservoirs or user-adjustable damping, MT64 may be the smartest choice in the Old Man Emu lineup.
THE CAP-IT TAKE
The Sweet Spot for a Serious Tundra
Suspension gets complicated quickly. Remote reservoirs, bypass systems and external adjusters all have their place, but not every truck needs them.
Most Tundras need to do everything well. They commute. They tow. They carry a truck cap, camper or camping gear. They travel hundreds of highway kilometres before the pavement ends. And when it does, they need enough suspension underneath them to confidently handle washboard, forestry roads and technical terrain.
That's exactly where we think MT64 belongs. Serious shock capacity, properly matched spring rates and sophisticated vehicle-specific damping without adding complexity the average Tundra owner doesn't need.
Why MT64 Is Different
Massive 64 mm Bore
The large-diameter monotube design provides substantial oil volume to help manage heat and maintain consistent damping during long-distance, loaded and rough-terrain driving.
Vehicle-Specific Damping
Rather than relying on the driver to tune external adjusters, Old Man Emu engineers the damping specifically around the Tundra and its intended operating conditions.
Load-Matched Suspension
Four front and rear load combinations allow the system to be selected around the permanent accessories your Tundra actually carries.
No External Reservoirs
MT64 delivers high-capacity monotube performance in a clean package without remote reservoirs, external hoses or compression and rebound adjusters.
BUILD IT AROUND YOUR TRUCK
Choose Your Front Load. Then Choose Your Rear Load.
Added permanent weight changes how a suspension system behaves. Instead of forcing every Tundra into one spring configuration, Old Man Emu offers MT64 systems matched to the permanent weight carried at the front and rear of the truck.
FRONT LOAD
0 lb Constant Load
Choose this for a Tundra without significant permanent front accessory weight. Appropriate for stock or lightly equipped front ends.
FRONT LOAD
220-330 lb Constant Load
Designed for substantial permanent front-end accessory weight such as an aftermarket bumper, winch, armour and related equipment.
REAR LOAD
0 lb Constant Load
Intended for trucks without significant permanent rear accessory weight beyond the standard vehicle configuration.
REAR LOAD
440 lb Constant Load
Designed around approximately 440 lb of permanent additional rear weight from equipment such as a truck cap, camper, drawers, fridge, recovery equipment and overland gear.
Don't choose the heavier spring simply because you occasionally carry passengers, camping equipment or cargo. Select the suspension around accessories that normally remain installed on the truck. If you're unsure, contact Cap-it and we'll help match the MT64 system to your build.
Your Selections Determine the ARB Kit
Select your front and rear constant load above. Together, those two selections determine which complete Old Man Emu MT64 system is correct for your Tundra.
| Front Constant Load | Rear Constant Load | ARB Kit | Typical Build |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 lb | 0 lb | 3102K | Stock / lightly equipped |
| 0 lb | 440 lb | 3104K | Rear-weighted canopy / overland build |
| 220-330 lb | 0 lb | 3109K | Bumper / winch / front armour |
| 220-330 lb | 440 lb | 3112K | Fully equipped overland build |
Exactly What's in Your MT64 Kit
Cap-it stocks the individual Old Man Emu components that make up these complete suspension systems. That makes it easy to identify exactly what you're buying now and exactly what component you may need later.

BUILD THE SUSPENSION AFTER YOU BUILD THE TRUCK
Canopy. Camper. Bumper. Winch. It All Adds Up.
One of the most common mistakes in an overland build is adding hundreds of pounds of permanent equipment and expecting the factory suspension to behave exactly as it did before.
A canopy or camper changes rear axle load. A bumper and winch change front axle load. Add drawers, fridge, recovery equipment, water and camping gear and the finished Tundra can be very different from the truck that left Toyota.
MT64 lets us account for that permanent weight and build the suspension around the finished vehicle, not an imaginary stock truck.
MT64 or BP-51?
MT64
High Performance Without the Complexity
Choose MT64 when you want excellent road manners, substantial shock capacity and serious off-road performance without remote reservoirs or externally adjustable compression and rebound.
BP-51
The Premium, Fully Adjustable Choice
Step up to BP-51 for internal bypass technology, remote reservoirs and independent compression and rebound adjustment.
RECOMMENDED UPGRADE
Complete the OME System with ARB Upper Control Arms
With approximately 3 inches of front lift, upgraded upper control arms are an important consideration for maintaining proper alignment, caster and suspension geometry.
ARB Old Man Emu Upper Control Arms (UCA0016) are engineered specifically for the 2022+ Toyota Tundra and designed to work with lifted IFS suspension systems. They help bring alignment geometry back into an acceptable range while maintaining predictable steering and suspension performance on-road and off-road.
If you're investing in an Old Man Emu MT64 suspension system, this is the UCA we recommend pairing with it.
Toyota Tundra Fitment
- Vehicle: Toyota Tundra
- Generation: 3rd Generation
- Model Years: 2022+
- Front Lift: Approximately 3"
- Rear Lift: Approximately 2"
- Front Load Options: 0 lb or 220-330 lb constant load
- Rear Load Options: 0 lb or 440 lb constant load
Suspension height and final vehicle stance can vary with vehicle configuration, accessory weight and setup. A professional wheel alignment is required following installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does MT64 mean?
MT64 refers to Old Man Emu's large-bore monotube shock design, built around a 64 mm internal bore to provide substantial oil volume and consistent damping performance.
Is MT64 adjustable like BP-51?
No. MT64 does not use external compression and rebound adjusters. Old Man Emu engineers vehicle-specific damping into the shock, making MT64 an excellent choice for drivers who want high-performance suspension without additional tuning complexity.
Which front load should I choose?
Choose 0 lb if your Tundra does not carry significant permanent front-end accessories. Choose 220-330 lb if the truck permanently carries substantial added front weight such as an aftermarket bumper, winch and armour.
Which rear load should I choose?
Choose 0 lb for stock or lightly equipped rear configurations. Choose 440 lb if the Tundra permanently carries approximately 440 lb of additional rear accessory weight such as a canopy, camper, drawer system and other overland equipment.
Does 440 lb mean the truck can only carry 440 lb?
No. It refers to the constant additional accessory weight the suspension is designed around, not the vehicle's maximum payload capacity.
Should I upgrade the upper control arms?
Yes, we strongly recommend considering ARB Old Man Emu UCA0016 Upper Control Arms when running the MT64 system at approximately 3 inches of front lift. The UCAs are designed to help restore proper alignment geometry, improve caster and maintain predictable steering and suspension performance. If you're building a complete OME suspension system, UCA0016 is our recommended pairing.
MT64 or BP-51?
MT64 is our choice for customers who want a premium, high-capacity suspension system with excellent on-road manners and serious off-road performance without external adjusters or remote reservoirs. BP-51 is the step up when internal bypass damping, remote reservoirs and independent compression and rebound adjustment are priorities.
