The ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger 300kg Constant 40mm Lift Suspension Kit is engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger Mk8 (2023 onwards). Designed for owners seeking improved load-carrying capability, ride comfort, and off-road control, this kit delivers a balanced suspension upgrade ideal for demanding Australian and UK conditions. Developed by ARB’s Old Man Emu division, it incorporates tailored shock absorber valving and robust spring rates to support vehicles consistently carrying up to 300kg of additional weight.
This Nitrocharger kit replaces the factory suspension with a complete system designed to address the challenges of increased payload, towing, and off-road travel. The twin-tube shock absorber design protects internal components from off-road impacts, while the high-flow piston and multi-disc compression valving ensure consistent damping and ride quality, even under heavy loads or rough terrain. The 40mm lift increases ground clearance, helping your Ranger tackle obstacles and uneven tracks with greater confidence.
This kit is particularly suited for Rangers that see regular use in remote touring, overlanding, or worksite environments where standard suspension quickly reaches its limits.
The Nitrocharger shock absorbers use high-quality oil formulated to resist fade and aeration, ensuring consistent performance in harsh conditions. Multi-disc compression valving and nitrogen gas charging further extend the temperature operating range and shock durability.
This suspension kit is designed for straightforward installation on Ford Ranger Mk8 models from 2023 onwards. It is intended for vehicles carrying a constant rear load of up to 300kg. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct alignment and optimal performance. No additional modifications are typically required, but a post-installation wheel alignment is advised.
Standard Ranger suspension can quickly become unsettled or sag under constant heavy loads, leading to poor handling, reduced clearance, and compromised off-road capability. The Old Man Emu Nitrocharger kit solves this by providing a matched spring and shock package that maintains ride height, improves stability, and delivers predictable handling whether your Ranger is loaded for work or adventure. This upgrade is widely trusted in off-road and expedition builds for its reliability and performance in demanding conditions.

This kit is ideal if you consistently carry 300kg of additional weight in the rear, such as canopies, drawer systems, or tools. If your load varies or is lighter, consider an alternative spring rate for optimal ride comfort.
The kit is designed for all Mk8 Ford Ranger models from 2023 onwards. Always confirm compatibility with your specific trim and any existing modifications before purchase.
The lift improves ground clearance and approach angles while the tailored shock valving maintains stability and control. Some change in centre of gravity is expected, but handling is generally improved, especially under load.
While experienced DIYers may install the kit, professional fitting is recommended to ensure correct geometry, safety, and alignment.
Regular checks of bushings, shackles, and fasteners are advised, especially after off-road use. The greasable shackle included helps simplify ongoing maintenance.
