Do you have any specs to add to this spec thread. Free height, wire diameter, turns.... shocks exstension & compression etc.Overall, I'm very happy with the set up. There's a few things I have left to do to finish it off like the caster correction bushings, LSPV, and possibly the adjustable panhard bars.
Huge improvement in the ride and handling, minus the caster issue. Ride is firm but absorbs very well.
Mike at Dobinsons was great to work with! Would definitely purchase this combo again.
I'll repost after the next install happens with my final impressions and answer anyone's questions if needed.
Yeah, that would probably be helpful wouldn't it.Do you have any specs to add to this spec thread. Free height, wire diameter, turns.... shocks exstension & compression etc.
It's not a full 2.5", according to Dobinsons it's a 60mm lift which translates to 2.36". Measurements from hub to bottom of the fender come out to:Did you get 2.5" of lift or did it end up being more?
i saw these today.View attachment 1724156 Old Man Emu BP-51 Adjustable Shocks for Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series
Curious to find out specs. Looks like two lengths too.
Since it seems the Old Man Emu BP-51s have been neglected in this thread so far.

I think it should also be noted that of all shocks listed in this thread so far, the OME BP-51s are the ONLY bolt-in bypass option for an 80 at this point. Some others are adjustable, but are not actual bypass shocks.
More info here thanks to @cruiseroutfit
The pics below are of the longer front and rear shocks, with OME 850J front coils, and 863 rear coils.

Is it me or the shock stention guard is awedulky close to the resi on the rear?
Are you running spacers with the OME setup in those photos ? Did the rear sag down with the double swingout and extra load?
These pics probably best shows the bulldogging...especially when compared to the other pics. It actually brings up the front end and the back dropped at least 2-3 inches...and i'm not that heavy of a packer. Same load and the dobs only minimally deflected (not pictured here).When fully loaded, it def did sag quite a bit. i'll see if i can find a fully loaded pic with the OMEs
