Who has had problems with their BP-51's?

So I found this when I walked out to my truck this morning. And a nice new stain in the driveway. There is a few of us in. The Northwest (Seattle-ish) running these and several have had leaks. This is the first big problem I've had with them. Only other thing was a stuck adjustment ring, but after running water over it from garden hose it started to move.

So how many folks have had a problem with their BP51's?

Maybe one of the other suspension manufacturers wants to give me a free setup. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge @Dobinsons Mike )

 

Give the location on vehicle for the faulty shock as well please. On mine the leaky one is passenger rear and the sticky adjuster is driver rear.

 

Yikes! I haven't noticed any leaks on mine, but will keep an eye out.

 

Ouch! I've been trying to decide between these and Fox. That helps me decide. Sorry Justin

 

I will still say the ride on these is incredible.

 

Can’t comment on durability yet, still under 1000 miles on mine. But I’ve been happy, I love being able to adjust for different conditions, gravel, haul a boat, highway etc. I’d agree @Juforrest the ride is great. I thought ARB had good warranty? Hopefully they will make it right for those effected.

 

I've heard the same from others. I'm not giving up on them yet. Hope it's not a PNW curse. ha ha. It will be interesting to see what ARB says. Did you get them thru Mule?

 

Everyone I know of that has had a problem got the shock replaced under warranty. It just seems like it's a lot of people.

 

No I ordered them through Headstrong off-road. I pretty hopeful they will just say gears a new one. I still have 1.5 years left on the warranty. I just wonder if I should be saving for Kings for the next 1.5 years.

 

looks like the seals/joints where the hose connects to the shock/resivoir are leaking

 

@Sandman614 something to look out for

 

Yep, it's totally lost all pressure in it. I can feel that corner of the truck bouncing when I come to a stop.

 

Anybody else?

 

Have not had any issues with the BP-51's but I do know that ARB/OME have a really good warranty, I would just explain the situation to them and they will most definitely take care of you. I had a friend that had one leaking coilover and they sent him a new one under warranty.

 

That's what I'm hoping for, I sent them an email over the weekend. I work about 20 minutes from their place in Auburn. I would gladly go pick one up if it means my suspension will be good for this weekend.

 

Just got off the phone with ARB. I need to send them the serial # from rear shocks and they will getting rolling on replacement. So far so good.

 

I shipped out 3 full suspension kits to you for free on Monday, so that you'll have this vehicle's suspension lifetime covered. Although you most likely won't have any leaky shock problems for a long while.

 

I will wait for them to arrive.

 

Here's the tracking, so you can confirm when they arrive: http://bfy.tw/JDrQ

 

Amazing
