The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 shock absorber kit delivers professional-grade bypass technology for vehicles with 3.5 to 4.5 inch suspension lifts. Designed and manufactured in-house by ARB's team of ride engineers, this complete shocks-only kit brings racing-proven performance to everyday off-road adventures.
Advanced Internal Bypass Technology:
Unlike traditional external bypass shocks that require bulky external tubes, the BP-51 features a revolutionary internal bypass design with passages integrated directly into the shock body. This position-sensitive damping system provides exceptional comfort during normal driving while automatically increasing damping forces as the shock reaches the end of its travel in both compression and rebound, preventing harsh bottoming and delivering superior control over challenging terrain.
Dual Independent Adjustability:
The BP-51 stands apart from most adjustable shocks by offering independent, on-vehicle adjustment of both rebound and compression damping. This allows you to fine-tune ride characteristics to match specific vehicle configurations, load conditions, and terrain requirements without removing the shocks from your vehicle.
Key Features:
- 51mm bore diameter for increased oil capacity and improved heat dissipation
- 6061-T6 aluminum body with Type III hard anodized finish for superior corrosion resistance
- Hard chrome-plated, ground piston shaft for maximum strength and durability
- High-density polyethylene shaft guard protects against stone damage and debris
- Vehicle-specific design utilizes existing mounting locations for bolt-in installation
- Remote reservoir design for enhanced cooling and consistent performance
- Durable Dash 6 high-temperature Teflon hose with high-flow fittings
- Large Teflon-lined spherical bearings and oversized rubber bushings
Application:
This shocks-only kit is engineered for Jeep Wrangler JK models with 3.5 to 4.5 inch lift heights. The kit includes front and rear BP-51 shock absorbers designed to work with ARB Old Man Emu suspension components or comparable lift systems.
Backed by ARB's 3-year limited warranty and developed through extensive testing in Australia's demanding Outback conditions, the BP-51 shock absorber system represents the pinnacle of Old Man Emu suspension engineering.
