OME BP-51 Suspension coming in 2015?

Several vendors vendors have them in stock now, may make a list in all my free time.

Wish I could find better spec on rear shock length and actual compatibility w/ Dakars in all potential configurations:
Standard.
One OL removed.
AAL added.

My initial email to ARB is still unanswered, but different vendors are offering different bits of insight on spec on their sites. None on actual compressed and extended lengths. Kinda frustrating.

 

the BP51's you can adjust both compression, and rebound. Fox, and King only the compression is adjustable. So yes, new tech, and a higher price.

 

^^^forgot to add that also to the bypass feature

 

Looks cool. I'll be interested when I need a suspension overhaul and after a few people have tried them out.

 

Idk about In Stock. Wheelersoffroad.com has them listed but here's their response to my question of seeing them installed on Tacomas and spring rate.

 

Thanks for clarifying. What Wheeler's told is what I imagined would be the case. We are in "3rd Gen territory" here LOL.

The Mule website in Colorado, whatever it was mentioned above, actually provided some of the most technical info I have seen to date, at least on a vendor site, and some stuff that I had not yet found in ARB literature. Which is out of date.

 

Mid June is not accurate, ARB told me they are have been shipping them out to vendors this week.

 

We just got a surprise shipment of the BP-51s in. Only a few kits available at this time though.

 

Dan. My Man.

Can you get your hand on rear shocks and take fully compressed and full extended measurements on bench top?

 

Checking to see if we have specs before we go tearing open boxes.

 

Cool. I haven't been able to find them anywhere, and ARB has not posted an updated application spec yet. They generally never provide these specific measurements anyway.

I hope they've designed them to avoid topping out or bottoming (less of a problem) on Dakars regardless of adding and AAL or removing an overload.

 

Pretty hard to have a shock on the rear long enough to not reach full extension unless you limit your up-travel or reconfigure the mounting. We'll find out the specs on these one way or another though.

 

Yeah, I can at least put Superbumps/and or other junk up top, right? Maxing droop for traction is my greatest concern.

 

Hot damn!

 

Sending you an email.

 

So who's got the best price on the full kit? If anybody has seen any deals or coupon codes, please post it up, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm looking forward to hearing feedback from the first person to set this up!

 

Does anyone know if new, extended brake lines are required? Front, rear, or both?

 

If you are lifting, it is highly recommended
