Figured that's what you meant. Would've been surprised to hear the opposite. BP-51s are on my to-do list. Thanks for the follow-up!

I think I'll do this paired with ICON upper control arms. That is if the FJ kit fits perfectly without issue or concern. If there are no differences then why the hell do they not slap it in a box that says 4Runner? Clearly they know how to spell it?

Stock upper control arms and no leaning to either side. I adjusted the coil top hat from 20mm of exposed threads to 12mm on both the drivers side and the passenger side. They come from the factory assembled for a Prado with a Diesel engine, bumper, and winch. That's at least 400 lbs of weight up front over the stock 4Runner.
did you do the KDSS recalibration?
I haven't had a need to do any recalibration. 4Runner is level side to side and front to back. 22 3/4" on each corner.

I believe that the re-calibration is unnecessary unless you bung up the install and allow something to happen to the KDSS pistons. If you follow the guide that some have posted here you should be good but still.. some get the KDSS lean even when doing things right so I'm a little baffled that you had zero issues with this.
Zero issues. Knock on wood. Been driving it every day for 2 months (2500 miles). I think it's because I didn't go too high. I believe the people who lift it over 2.5-2.75 inches is where KDSS gets wonky.

2 - 2.5 is my sweet spot. Nothing over that for sure. So hopefully this is officially released before I need to purchase or else I might be PM'ing you for additional details.

22 August and Still no BP51 for 4Runner
Any additional updates on the delay? Only 8 days left in August when we were told by ARB it would drop :frusty:
For those with TRD PRO suspension - can you share your before and after lift measurements? Did you upgrade UCA's or rear springs?

The "only" change ARB told me on the phone was an adjustment to valving, I'm glad you're patient [MENTION=140508]DesertEagle[/MENTION] I couldn't wait!
Can't speak to switching out from TRD Pro, but from a Trail w/o KDSS, I kept my stock UCA and used the OME supplies rear coils, BSPrelude did the same but kept the stock rear coils and sits level. I have an acceptable rake - ready for all my crappola

ARB told me 60-90 days when I asked them in December of last year. That would have had it out in March. I can't wait either, but I'm not holding my breath for August release.
Just sent another email asking about it and got his reply...
"Still nothing new to report. The prototyping and evaluation is still moving ahead really well. The engineers are excited to have a good solution being test, so we are hoping to have some good news for the 4Runner owners as soon as it gets the sign off.
Part of the downside of being thorough in our testing, but we know the part will work for everyone once it is released!"

Group Buy??? 4Runner tuned yet???
Hey guys! I am ready to buy today for my 2013 limited without KDSS. Did the kit come out for the runner yet?? If not I'm still ready to buy. I can't imagine calving will be all that different. If your that picky I would say you will probably revalve anyway. Any group buys out there???:roadkill::hello::roadkill:

One thing I failed to ask. What tires and load rating are you running? I am ok with a little stiffer but I don't want it to ride like a F-450 without a load in the back if that makes sense?
I'm trying to decide if I should go with KO2 (LR-E) or AT3 (LR-C). Can the ride be adjusted to compensate somewhat for higher load range tires?

Will probably get mine tax time next year alone with an UCA. I believe this kit gives you 2" of lift. If by chance I wanted 3" in the rear and 2.5" in the front does anyone see any issues with running cornfed (or other brand) spacers to get there?

I'm running stock size Nitto Terra Grapplers G2 265 / 70R / 17 but instead of P rated, I have LT. They ride great on the highway (75% of my driving)!
The compression on the shock system can be adjusted to compensate the higher load range!

That was another thing I was curious about now that you mention it. I figured that you could offset the harder LT tire with the suspension but I didn't want to assume that.
