Everything changes when your rig feels planted, smooth, and ready for anything. This kit helps you take on every mile—loaded or empty, pavement or dirt—with confidence, control, and comfort you didn't know you were missing.
If you've ever hit a washboard road and felt like your rear end was trying to pass the front, you're not alone. Traditional shocks just can't keep up when terrain gets rough or loads get heavy. BP-51s change that. With position-sensitive damping, they absorb small bumps at ride height but stiffen up deeper in travel—right when you need control. No more pogo stick suspension or bottoming out on ruts. Just a ride that feels planted, predictable, and downright comfortable.
A smoother ride is great but gaining 2" of rear lift changes the game. If you need extra clearance for trails, better departure angles, or just want to level things out under a load, this kit gives you the extra height to do it. It's not just about how it drives, it's about how ready your rig looks and feels.
Some days you're unloaded and cruising. Other days you've got 500 pounds of gear in the back. Either way, your shocks shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all compromise. BP-51s let you fine-tune compression and rebound to match your setup—no shop visit, no uninstall. With the included wrench, you can tweak damping on your truck in minutes. It's a game-changer when you're prepping for a long trip or switching between everyday use and trail duty.
Ever tried to rig a bracket that didn't quite fit? Or had to zip-tie a reservoir because nothing lined up? That's the kind of hassle this kit eliminates. The included fit kit is vehicle-specific, which means the brackets, mounts, and adapters are engineered for your Tacoma. You won't be fighting hardware or drilling into your frame. It all just fits cleanly, securely, and without guesswork so you know it's done right.
If you put your rig through tough terrain, you know how fast cheap shocks can fade, rattle, or seize up. BP-51s are built from 6061-T6 aluminum, with a hard-anodized finish that shrugs off heat, corrosion, and flying rocks. Whether it's daily driving in snow and salt or bouncing down a rocky trail in 110 F heat, these shocks are designed to last. Even the shaft guards are replaceable, because ARB and Old Man Emu know what real use looks like.
You don't have to be a suspension expert to feel the difference. The first time you roll over a pothole or crest a dirt berm, you'll notice the calm, controlled response. It's not just smoother, it inspires confidence. If you're hauling tools, exploring a trail, or just looking for a better daily drive, this shock and install kit combo makes your Tacoma feel ready for anything.
