OME BP-51

Just wanted to provide some useful feedback for anyone looking. I have a 17 trd or 6mt and have had the bp51 setup on it for the last 25k miles and 3 years. It has done everything asked of it and more. Tows very well, good road manners, excels on fire roads. Probably not as good for full mobbing as kings, but would absolutely buy it again. No corrosion issues and no issues of any kind.

 

Interesting. I have six months with my BP 51s they are coming out and being replaced with dobinsons mrrs. They can't support any weight ride isn't that great

 

I have firestone airbags with daystar drop away cradles for supplemental weight. Normally i run them at 0 psi but ive run as much as 30 with a heavy load, helps to keep that zoned valving working properly.

 

Man I really like the idea of the BP51s. There are some that have had not the best experiences with the BP51 but for me I am not planning on doing the Rubicon trail. Good to see that they have been reliable for you. I think they are a 670LB coil, I am going to have a winch tray most likely with a 10K winch for around 110 lbs. I only want 2 inch of lifts. You figure the BP51 will work for this?

 

I have a 10k smittybilt winch with steel cable, and arb bumper. I think the truck sits great as the coilovers came from factory, very mild rake front to rear with nothing in the bed. I think they would work quite well for your described application.

 

thats the winch I was looking at as well but with synthetic line, thanks for the information!

 

I'll sell you mine that I just took out

 

I might be tempted for the right price ..... but I think warranty support from ARB is to the original owner. That could be an issue if anything happened down the road. PM me your price.
I just checked on the ARB website and they say
-
Product purchased “used” or “open box” are not covered under warranty. Warranty is non transferable and only valid to the original purchaser.

 

What Dobinson model works for the 2016+ Taco?
Where did you buy them?
Still happy with them?

Sorry for reviving an older thread.
