OME BP-51 Suspension System -- Anyone yet?

[MENTION=140508]DesertEagle[/MENTION] go BP-51s with Total Chaos arms. Internal bypass with full adjustability!!! SaaaaaaWeeeeeet!


Sent using 1s and 0s.
 
[MENTION=102009]T4Ranger[/MENTION] - did you receive/install the OME BP-51s? I'm also looking at either the ICON Stage 5/6 or the OME BP-51s with Total Chaos Or ICON UCA's. Not sure about the mix and match approach. Just curious to see what you went with and how the install went?

I'll let you know Sunday, if the rain clears out of Houston early enough.
 
Install went smoothly except for the part where I didn't supervise a buddy & he stretched my ABS cable on the opposite side I was working on. Told him to disconnect all the brackets & he didn't listen. Price of 'free' help I guess :)

Rake is a bit much, but will be perfect when my SSS bumper gets done.

Looks great man!!! What coilover top hat setting did you go with up front? Comes from OME preloaded for a steel bumper and winch (20mm adjustment).

Measured the length of the coil assembly up with the dealer-installed spacer struts and they were just a touch longer, so I left it at the preset 20. Rides a bit stiff in the rear right now, but the coils will loosen a bit & the bumper/tiregate should help (I hope).

wow, this suspension set up looks great, is the front height maxed out?

Thanks for the information! Did you do 885 OME Coils in the back or did you do 889 OME's?

What do the fronts and rears measure at now (Floor to fender)

I went with the 2889s (889), knowing I'll be hanging a few hundred pounds off the rear of it...

Will measure tomorrow

Thanks and that should not only settle the back end down but distribute more of the load on the back end and off of the front end (thus raising up the front slightly more than current)
 
Any update on the 4runner specific application?

I asked ARB about it last week and got this reply...

"Quite soon! Our engineers are working on a solution for spacing the sway bar away from the coil bucket on the coilover. They want to make sure that every scenario is evaluated and the product is perfect before we release it. "

Thanks for the update! That's good engineering practice right there.

Do you have a KDSS (Trail Edition Option) or a traditional sway bar 4Runner?

The issue that ARB is working on effects only traditional sway bar 4Runners.

Also, ARB is making a new bracket for the drivers side front BP51 Remote Reservoir. Right now the KDSS plumbing gets in the way. Installation can still happen utilizing 1 of the 2 bolt holes and reversing the direction of the Remote Reservoir Bracket.

Please chime in if you have any questions or if I misspoke!

I was planning on putting it on my 2011 Limited, but it got totaled a few weeks ago. So now I'm planning on putting it on my 2016 Limited, so I do need to wait for the sway bar fix.
