About Ford Ranger 4×4 Suspension
Whether you’re tackling steep farm tracks, towing on coastal roads, or loading up your ute for work, your Ford Ranger suspension plays a critical role in how safe and comfortable your drive feels. Factory setups are fine for light use, but once you start adding accessories fitted like bull bars, roof racks, and drawers, or carrying constant weight, the stock suspension struggles to keep up.
That’s where ARB’s Old Man Emu 4×4 suspension comes in. Developed in Australia and proven across New Zealand terrain, our suspension systems are built tough, engineered for performance, and tailored to suit Ford Ranger models such as PX, PXII, PXIII, and the Next Gen Ranger.
INDUSTRY-LEADING FORD RANGER SUSPENSION BUILT FOR NEW ZEALAND DRIVERS
We know Kiwis ask a lot from their Rangers. One day it’s the school run with the kids, the next it’s hauling tools, towing the boat, or exploring backcountry tracks. Old Man Emu systems are tested on corrugations, mud, gravel, and steep climbs to make sure your Ranger suspension performs no matter the conditions.
From increased stability under load to a smoother ride with passengers, ARB suspension is designed for real life in New Zealand. Whether you’re working hard or heading away for a weekend adventure, our upgrades deliver the confidence and control you need.

INCREASED GROUND CLEARANCE AND GVM INCREASE OPTIONS
A proper suspension upgrade is about more than looks. With Old Man Emu, you’ll notice increased ground clearance for safer angles off road, confidence while towing caravans, boats, or work trailers, balanced handling when accessories add extra weight and support for GVM increase compliance when required in New Zealand. Matched springs, shocks, and hardware mean your Ranger feels stable and predictable whether you’re loaded with gear, carrying passengers, or climbing a rutted track.
