BP51 back to OEM

[sotxraider]

Tried searching around a bit and could not find a straight answer on the following: (reason for switching is my wife will start using this as her dd and won't do it without the "lift" removed.)

• Has anyone gone from BP51 back to OEM?
  • Did you have your old parts? ( I do not )
  • If purchased from Toyota what would this run in parts?

• If I find someone wanting to upgrade their suspension to BP51 what years will mate up with my 2018?
  • How many miles should I avoid on used suspension parts if I do make a "trade" with someone.

• Can the BP 51 be lowered back to an OEM height?
  • Currently running BFG TA K/O 285/65R 18
  • Rear Spring is 2723. (have ARB drawers and was carrying a lot of tools.)

All that said if you are in the market for a BP51 kit I may just have a deal for you. (Located in TX)

I'm in the market. DIBS! I have my stock setup off a 2013, with 87k highway miles on them if you want them.

I am interested as well. I have a 2019 and have the OEM suspension from my Cruiser. Springs and shocks have about 9K miles on them. Would love to chat with you about your BP-51 set up. Oh, and I am in TX as well. Will shoot you a PM...

Tough wife.

Better option is to get 2720 rear springs and lower the fronts to match.

Fitting thread. I’m returning a customer’s ‘19 back to stock tonight. Same situation.

I’ve got it at Carolina Squat levels right now...

Can the BP 51 be lowered back to an OEM height?

No, you can’t lower BP-51 to stock height.

How low can you go on a BP-51 suspension?

Lift comparison between an OME BP-51 suspension set as low as you can go (1.5”) in front and no-lift in the rear (2721 rear springs) on Terragrappler G2 285/65/18 (32.59" diameter) vs. Stock suspension with a 1/4" OEM spacer on a 2020 Heritage with Michelin LTX AT2 275/65/18 (32" diameter)...

FYI other than the left rear for some reason all the spring and shock part numbers changed from 2013 to 2018. The mounting points didn’t change so I think it would bolt in, but there may have been slight tweaks to spring rate or length, or shock valving specs.

What part of Texas? McAllen area? I have a 16 stock.

I have the stock suspension from my 2016 in storage. I’m located in Houston.

Probably less than 10,000 miles on it.
