GREATER PERFORMANCE : THE BENEFIT OF BP-51

Whilst an Old Man Emu suspension system incorporating Nitrocharger shock absorbers is a vast improvement over standard suspension systems for both on and off road use, by design, there are always compromises between comfort and control.

Old Man Emu’s BP-51 high-performance bypass shock absorbers bring the latest in racing bypass technology to everyday 4WDers, giving the ability to customise their ride with user adjustable compression and rebound damping control while still being fully compatible with Old Man Emu springs and suspension related components.

3 Years Warranty

ARB prides itself on creating the best products that offer quality, reliability and practicality above all else. Naturally all ARB products manufactured and distributed by us come with a three years nationwide warranty.

Closer Look

Elevate the capability and comfort of your Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series with the Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Kit. Engineered as a comprehensive, integrated system, this kit delivers exceptional ride quality, superior handling, and enhanced load-carrying for all your overlanding adventures across Australia's diverse terrain.

At the core of this advanced system are the Old Man Emu BP-51 (Bypass Performance 51mm) high-performance, user-adjustable internal bypass shock absorbers for both front and rear. Designed and manufactured in-house by ARB, these shocks feature patented position-sensitive internal bypass damping for a plush ride at cruising height and progressively firmer control at the limits of travel. Crafted from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminium with external rebound and compression adjusters, they offer superior heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and the flexibility to fine-tune your suspension for varying loads and conditions.

This kit specifically caters to the LandCruiser 78 Series, utilising your vehicle's original leaf spring shackles. It includes precision-engineered Old Man Emu front coil springs, manufactured from state of the art micro-alloyed spring steel for superior strength and durability, and rear leaf springs with a 500-600kg constant load rating. These leaf springs feature flat axle seat areas, anti-friction interleaf liners, shot-peening, and graphite coating for reduced stress, improved comfort, and extended life.

To complete the integrated solution, the kit also comprises a full suite of Old Man Emu fitting components: a sway bar spacer kit, a rear sway bar bracket kit (mandatory for original equipment rear sway bars), a caster correction kit for improved geometry after lift, leaf spring bush kits, heavy-duty U-bolts, and a steering damper for enhanced control and reduced driver fatigue on corrugated roads.

Experience the ultimate in adjustable, high-performance suspension designed to withstand Australia's toughest conditions, providing unmatched confidence and control for your LandCruiser 78 Series.
