That looks about like mine. I did have to put some washers on the LSPV bolt so it wouldn't contact the BP-51 Reservoir body tho- worth a look.
I use the OEM bolt on mine, and I carefully chased the threads on the axle and the bolt as they were a bit rusty. Also, on the upper nut, be sure you tighten it fully! It goes a long way to help stop the shock from rotating when you try to adjust the comp/rebound. You'll still want to buy a cheap strap wrench from Home Depot or China Freight tho.
On mine I bolted the supplied bracket to the existing brake line bracket and then gently bent the hard line until I could bolt the supplied bracket to the axle. I have the Slee SS brake lines on my vehicle, and at full turn they were *really* tight after installing the BP51 brackets. I ended up bending the bracket(s) out toward the knuckle some to relieve stress on the SS flex line at full lock. So far, so good.

Thanks for taking the time to reply here. Very helpful. I was really nervous about messing with that Hardline. I've upgraded to extended stainless lines, but that soft line on the knuckle is rubber. I wonder if a custom sized stainless line would be in order?
I ordered some brand new OEM lower shock bolt hardware. Mine are pretty knackered from rocks and n such. I did manage to thread in an extra caliper bolt I had in the shop. Went right in. Would be nice if these shocks bolts were like 5-10mm longer in this application.
The Slee stainless lines are plenty adequate. Honestly, I may extend the front bump stops which in theory would negate the need for those little brake line brackets. If you're on the factory rubber lines from the axle to the caliper, they'll be a bit more forgiving than the stainless lines from Slee. Custom lines can be done by Crown or the like, but would likely be a little more expensive than the ones Slee already has custom made for the 80.

Tagging in late on this. I *think* I have a part number for a slightly longer rear lower shock bolt. I don't recall needing/spec'ing it for the BP51 but rather some other shock applications over the years on the 6x/7x/8x which uses the same rear lower bolt as I recall. I remember doing some side by sides pics of them here on Mud. Lemme dig!
The factory 80 rear lower bolt (our part# SUS12088, 90119-12088) is 12x1.25mm thread and 22mm long. I think we found one that was 25mm long so an additional 2.4 threads. It's a blind hole so you can't get too long.

Sign me up for 2 of the longer bolts and washers if you find em
Is it 90119-A0118 by any chance, Kurt? (US regionalization of 90901-19052)

I'll check tomorrow, that could be it. Have you you used that with success?

Done, happy to send some out.
I‘m trying to think if I have. It’s just a number I recall tumbling around in my brain right now…. I’d need to check my notes tomorrow.

Yeah that would be awesome actually.
I could not make the stock bolt work...I found some longer ones at local hardware store. I'll be very cautious and won't be driving much, but it allowed me to clean up the driveway.
Just a tip, if you take the three little spacers and put them on the bolt toward the head it makes it much easier to get that bolt started...in case anyone was trying load the spacers inside the bushings first.
Saw your posts on here and on one of my install question threads. Just wanted to make sure you got the longer variant of the BPs if you're running J springs!

Yes, I did... thanks for confirming. I'm all over trying to get these installed and dialed in. Thanks!!
The shorter variant of the two work with stock height
Thanks Wompom
Thanks. Currently running stock height OME. Thinking going with 2-2.5 later this year.

Let us know, we'd love to help @ Cruiser Outfitters. All parts we stock!
So had a not great experience with ARB on these at this point.
I'm at maybe 40k on my BP51s. They're showing some oil on the shafts and seem to just generally need a rebuild.
I'm planning a trip in July driving from Seattle to Prudhoe and all over Alaska. I reached out to them as a preventative rebuild/repair as needed prior to the trip.
Essentially got told unless they're completely blown out they won't rebuild them, even after offering to pay for the service.
This makes 0 sense to me. They're functioning in what I could call working but needing fresh oil/recharge. There is a noticeable difference in their performance.
ARB s***s the bed with service yet again. I really like the suspension and bought it because it was rebuildable. But if its going to be a pain to have them serviced whats the point.
