Description
Take your 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2016+) to the next level with the Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Lift Kit, ARB’s premium performance system. Delivering a 2–3” lift with fully adjustable bypass shock technology, BP-51 suspension offers an unmatched blend of comfort, control, and capability—on the highway, loaded down for overland travel, or pushing deep into backcountry trails.
Unlike standard lift kits, BP-51 shocks feature independently adjustable compression and rebound damping, allowing you to fine-tune your ride for daily driving, heavy hauling, or aggressive off-road use. Precision-machined aluminum bodies, internal bypass engineering, and OME’s vehicle-specific design ensure your Tacoma performs at its best in any environment.
The front coilovers have been tuned in both length and feel specifically to the Tacoma and are capable of accommodating setups with and without accessories (bumpers, winch, etc). Specific reservoir brackets have been designed for application-specific reservoir placement and also relocation of the sway bar to allow clearance at the spring seat. While the front coilovers are adjustable in height, the system has been designed for a 2-inch (50mm) ride height increase and a minimum of 2-inch (50 mm) down travel.
Currently available for purchase, rear shock absorbers have been tuned in length and valving specific to the Tacoma. To accommodate the large body size of BP-51, a specific lower mount bracket has been developed to provide clearance to the axle. Specific reservoir brackets have also been developed and are included in the rear fit kit.
The rear dampers are tuned to match the existing range of rear Old Man Emu springs. Recommended compression and rebound settings can be found in the supplied fitting instructions for the various spring options available.
The fitting instructions include detailed information for the correct installation of the shock absorber and reservoir placement. Please note there is a left-hand and right-hand applications due to the different reservoir mounting methods and locations.
