About Toyota Hilux 4×4 Suspension
The Toyota Hilux is one of New Zealand’s hardest working utes. Whether it is carrying tools, towing trailers, or heading off road on the weekend, the Hilux is expected to handle a wide range of tasks. Once accessories and payload are added, factory suspension can sag, feel unsettled, and lose ride comfort over time.
ARB’s Old Man Emu 4×4 suspension systems are engineered to support the Hilux platform under real working conditions. Designed as complete systems and tested in demanding environments, they improve stability, load handling, and driver confidence both on road and off road.

Suspension engineered for your Hilux
Old Man Emu 4×4 suspension for the Toyota Hilux is developed to suit its chassis, rear leaf spring configuration, and typical load applications. Springs and shock absorbers are tuned to work together, ensuring consistent ride quality. This system approach maintains vehicle balance when additional weight is introduced, helping the Hilux remain predictable and stable under load.
Improved stability for work and recreation
A working Hilux often carries constant weight in the tray or tows equipment regularly. Old Man Emu suspension improves rear support, reduces sag, and enhances overall body control. On rough roads and gravel tracks, improved damping helps absorb impacts more effectively, resulting in a smoother, more controlled drive.
Options to match your Hilux build
From lightly equipped utes to fully set up trade or touring vehicles, Old Man Emu 4×4 suspension systems are selected based on payload and usage. Matching the correct spring rates and shock tuning ensures the vehicle performs reliably in its intended role.
