The Old Man Emu BP-51 Parabolic Suspension Kit for your Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series represents the pinnacle of integrated 4x4 suspension systems. Engineered for the discerning enthusiast, this kit provides a tailored, balanced solution that significantly enhances your vehicle's ride, handling, and load-carrying capabilities across Australia's diverse terrain.
At the core of this system are the revolutionary BP-51 (Bypass 51mm) shock absorbers, featuring patented, position-sensitive internal bypass damping technology. Manufactured in-house by ARB from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminium, these shocks deliver exceptional heat dissipation and corrosion resistance. With external rebound and compression adjusters, you gain complete control to fine-tune your 78 Series LandCruiser's handling for any load, environment, or personal preference, ensuring a plush ride in normal conditions and firmer control during extreme travel.
This comprehensive kit features innovative Parabolic Leaf Springs for the rear, offering superior comfort and reduced weight compared to traditional multi-leaf designs. The unique tapering allows for smoother flex, transforming the ride quality of your LandCruiser. It is critical to note that due to the removal of the second stage found in conventional multi-leaf springs, the ARB Air Bag Kit is a mandatory fitment with these parabolic springs to ensure vehicle driveability and durability. ARB will not warrant issues arising from parabolic leaf spring fitment without an ARB Air Bag Kit installed. The included ARB Air Bag Kit also provides the capability to carry an additional 600kg in variable weight (300kg per airbag) by adjusting pressure from 0psi to 45psi.
Complementing the system are Old Man Emu heavy duty coil springs for the front, manufactured from state-of-the-art micro-alloyed spring steel for superior strength and durability. These coils are precision-formed to ensure consistency and are matched to the BP-51 front shock absorbers for a fully integrated solution. The kit also includes essential fitment components such as a sway bar spacer kit, rear sway bar bracket, and a dedicated bracket for the front ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) wire for ABS equipped models, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. Caster alignment bushes are also supplied to correct geometry when lifting the vehicle, maintaining precise steering control.
Every component in this Old Man Emu BP-51 system is developed and tested in Australia's punishing conditions, guaranteeing the quality and durability expected from ARB. Experience unparalleled control and comfort, empowering your LandCruiser 78 Series to go further and tackle any adventure with confidence.
