New OME Bypass Shock Installed (1 Viewer)

[pdxlc200]

From the LCOOL website. An aussie posted the first install pics that I have seen. Not sure what I think about them only being 2.0 vs 2.5.

Looks great for what I am looking for! Hopefully we hear some reviews on how it handles.

Are these the same ones that were designed with ARB?

Very nice!!!! Yes, I'm curious to hear some feedback on them as well. Do you have a link to that post?

From the looks of the labels, materials, pics, they sure do like what ARB has on the video.

Thanks for the xpost. After our PMs I've been watching carefully. Some more hilux installs around as well it seems. Christo mentioned there are 'some' en route now. Hopefully the Long Beach delays don't affect these.

For the 2.0 vs 2.5 concern - because of less granular tuning and then lower vol to absorb the heat? I'm in good shape for race car and motorcycle multi-way suspension but offroad is new. If those are the concerns then I think they're still great for what we need on our truck.

Thank you again

The 51 in the name refers to the piston diameter in mm. Most, if not all, 2.0 shocks have a 46mm/1.81" piston.

Some of the aussie guys were worried that that they were 2.0's and couldn't manage the weight of their fully laden vehicles. If you don't have any armor then this is probably the perfect shock for you!

Any new updates on when these will hit the US and price?

 

[bjowett]

Possibly July. I'll double check pricing.

I got a quote for these last week for the 200 series: FRONTS are $895 each and REAR are $595 each. A little quick math tells us it'll cost just shy of $3000.00 not including tax, shipping or installation. Ouch.

That is KING territory.

No thanks...

Who quoted you? I'm sure there will be better deals.

Yes - in fact I was quoted a set of King's with Total Chaos UCA's for less than that!

This is ARB's list price. It was given to me by ARB's regional sales manager and confirmed by 4Wheel Parts.

I don't pay list price for anything ...

The BP51 shocks have hit land in the USA.. I have front and rear inbound to me to put on my 2015 LC.. I have an appointment scheduled with Main Line Overland to have them installed on June 22. I will post photos of the install when done...

Yeah slee has it installed on his 200. Only had a few miles on it but will post a write up once he tinkers more with it.
