• Become root ( sudo gainroot / sudo su – ) or whatever method is handy
• cd /usr/bin (move to somewhere in the path)
• tar zxvf /path/to/FILE.tgz
• Thats it, now you can run the new command

For su.tgz you may then want to link it to be used or you can call it with path
For example:
ln -sf /usr/bin/su /bin/su (/bin/su is made by busybox)
or when you need the real su you can call it like so
/usr/bin/su -

Also note ping and su have special permissions, so unpacking them will work fine, but if you copy them to new location it wont work, move them.
