The ARB Old Man Emu Dakar front leaf spring (D17XL) is a heavy-duty leaf pack from OME's Dakar range, engineered to restore ride height and load-carrying capacity for 1979–1994 Toyota Pickup / 4Runner.
Old Man Emu tunes every Dakar leaf around real overland loads — winch bumpers, drawers, water and gear — so your rig sits level and stays controlled instead of sagging or bottoming out. The multi-leaf pack is built and finished for long service life over rough, corrugated terrain.

Honest note: a load-rated Dakar leaf is firmer than a tired factory pack — unladen ride is stiffer, which is the trade for sag-free capacity once you are loaded for a trip. Exact lift and load figures are application-specific; confirm them against the OME catalogue for your spring code before ordering.
