Looks awesome! Please do a little more about ride quality differences vs stock once you get more time. Also what adjustments have/will you make?

I believe front is $1600 and rear is $400. Does not include install.
Nice set up
I have just shy of $4000 in suspension, UCA and install...
Give me a few weeks and I will do a detailed review.. I will say the BP51 kit is outstanding. The fit and finish in second to none. I was going to get the Icon system and I am glad I held off...
Thank you.. It's a work in progress. I am going to start a build thread soon.. I need to get my act together..
Where you at in NY? I am in PA...
Do you really mean that? What can you share about one versus the other?
I'm interested to know.
thanks
Any one want to buy brand new kings with res front and back? I'll give them a great deal
These OME (progressive rate I assume?) springs look awesome, and oh so much more thread on the front shock body..not even halfway there yet equals potential for more height before even breaching preload issues!
Probably can get another inch and it would still ride the same if not better!
Congrats, really like the fit and finish...can wait to read about the extensive trail test write up!!
Oh one last request, after your done drooling...the side profile pic looks like your getting a full 3 inches maybe, can you measure?
Cheers!

Willy,
The BP 51 ride is a little firmer than stock. But not harsh in any way. It just soaks up the bumps. The handling is much better than the factory set up. The braking nose dive of the factory suspension is gone. I have rebound and compression set in the mid range right now.. The on road ride is amazing. I am going to play around with the setting over the July 4th weekend . I am going to try out some fire road (faster speed) and some slow trails and see what effects changing the rebound and compression has.
The fits and finish is amazing on this system.. ARB has done there homework and I am glad I waited for this system..
They are the new by pass BP51 shocks.. There is lots of threading left on the front shock. I feel I could easily get another 1.5" of lift and not have any preload issues..Any one want to buy brand new kings with res front and back? I'll give them a great deal

I got about 2.75" of lift in the front. There is a little rake toward the front. When I get my Goose Gear drawer and fridge installed next week it should just about sit level.
Wonderful.. I am about 3 1/2 hours from you. We will have to try and get together on the future.
