ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Suspension Kit for Ford Ranger Mk7 – 45mm Lift, Front Bar & Winch, Medium Rear Load

Purpose-Built Suspension for Accessorised Ford Ranger Mk7

The ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Suspension Kit is engineered for Ford Ranger Mk7 (2019–2022) Double Cab owners who have fitted a front bar and winch and regularly carry moderate loads in the rear. This kit delivers a 45mm lift, helping restore correct ride height and handling after adding heavy accessories. Designed by ARB for real-world Australian conditions, it provides a tailored solution for off-roaders, tourers, and anyone demanding more from their Ranger’s suspension.

What This Suspension Kit Does for Your Ranger

Factory suspension can struggle under the weight of a steel bull bar, winch, and loaded rear tray or canopy, leading to sag, unpredictable handling, and reduced clearance. The Nitrocharger kit addresses these issues with matched springs and shocks, optimised for accessory weight and medium rear loads. The result is improved stability, comfort, and control—on-road and off.

Who Should Choose This Kit?

• Ranger Mk7 owners with a front bar and winch already fitted
• Drivers who regularly carry moderate gear (approx. 300–600kg) in the rear—such as tools, camping equipment, or a light canopy
• Expedition and touring builds needing reliable ground clearance and load support
• Anyone wanting balanced on-road comfort and off-road capability after accessorising

This kit is not intended for vehicles with no front-end accessories or those carrying heavy constant loads in the rear. For other load ratings or setups, consider alternative OME kits.

Real-World Problem Solving: Why This Kit Matters

The Old Man Emu Nitrocharger kit is engineered to counter these issues, helping your vehicle maintain ride height, stability, and comfort—no matter the load or terrain. This means safer, more predictable handling and less wear on other components during remote travel or heavy use.
