Anyone running OME BP 51’s on there 3rd gen?

About to get some new coilovers for the truck. Just torn between kings and the bp 51’s. I know alot people run the kings and love them but anyone got the ome’s?

 

If your deciding on the two....King's hands down. There is no debate on this.

For that money you could get ADS without the clickers.

 

Ive never really heard to much about ads

 

Kangs. Always.

 

Good American made company. Probably what I’ll be going with.

 

I just upgraded to the BP-51 kit from the OME Nitrocharger kit ... worth every penny IMO. Like many others I was trying to decide between BP-51 and a few others. What put me over the top was the build quality, materials used and the lack of “required service” that comes with some of the others. Not to mention decades of testing and R&D in the Outback, among other places like the PNW. Another bonus, ARB isn’t too far from me here in WA so if I have any issues I trust that they would take care of it asap, and I hear great things about their customer service. I took the plunge and I am very happy with my choice.

 

For what it is worth we finally added the BP51 kits to our site.

Here's why I didn't go with the BP-51s. Starts around 12:16

I've seen this video and I didn't know he mentioned the BP-51s...I must have stepped away when it was playing. Good info to know

 

Why would anyone fake the diameter of a shock? Wouldn't the cost of the material to fake a larger diameter body be more than the actually larger valve and additional oil needed to just make the real thing? Maybe not...

 

Slipping on a cover, vs engineering and producing several valving components and bodies. Who knows, I just didn't like that it's not a true 2.5" body.

 

I bought a complete setup from Headstrong last year and finally installed them about 3 months ago and they're badass! I have the remote reservoirs with click adjusters (why not) with Total Chaos UCAs and Dakars out back. I was worried this might be too stiff but it rides perfect. I would say they're at least equal to the Kings.
