The ARB VM80010016 Front BP-51 Shock Fitting Kit is a vehicle-specific mounting hardware assembly engineered to facilitate the installation of the BP-51 (51 mm bore bypass) front shock absorber system on compatible vehicles (notably the Toyota LC200 model years 2020-2021). ARB USA
Constructed to integrate seamlessly with OEM mounting locations, the kit ensures correct alignment, secure attachment, and repeatable performance under rigorous off-road load cycles.
Key Technical Features:
-
Vehicle-specific design: Tailored mounting brackets and hardware that match the front suspension geometry for the specified vehicle. ARB USA
-
OEM interface fidelity: Utilizes existing mounting points to avoid chassis modifications and maintain suspension geometry integrity.
-
Durable construction: Engineered hardware capable of withstanding high articulation, repeated loading cycles, and exposure to harsh environments.
-
Integration-ready: Designed to work with BP-51 front shock absorbers and, when part of a full suspension system, supports consistent damping behaviour and ride dynamics.
Application & Fitment:
This fitting kit is intended exclusively for the front suspension of compatible vehicles (e.g., Toyota LC200 2020-2021) when upgrading to BP-51 bypass shock systems. It does not include the shock absorbers themselves; rather it supplies the mounting kit necessary to install the shocks properly.

Q: Does the VM80010016 kit affect suspension travel or adjust ride height?
A: No. The fitting kit itself is purely a mounting hardware assembly—it does not independently alter ride height or travel. Ride height and travel changes stem from the shock absorber (BP-51) and spring components paired with it.
Q: Is this kit compatible with non-BP-51 shock absorbers or other vehicle platforms?
A: No. The kit is explicitly designed for use with the BP-51 series front shocks on the specified vehicle platform. Compatibility with other shocks or vehicles is not guaranteed and would require verification.
Q: What are the advantages of using a vehicle-specific fitting kit rather than a generic mounting solution?
A: Vehicle-specific kits like this ensure bracket geometry and hardware fit match the factory suspension layout, reducing the potential for misalignment, unintended stress on mounting points, and inconsistent suspension behaviour.
Q: Are structural modifications required to install this kit?
A: No structural modifications to the chassis are required for the vehicles this kit is designed for—it uses existing mounting locations. However, torqueing, alignment checks and verification of clearance are recommended post-installation.
Q: What maintenance or inspection considerations apply after installation?
A: Since the system will operate under off-road and heavy-loading conditions, periodic inspection of mounting hardware torque, bushing wear, and alignment is advised. Also ensure that the paired shock absorber is properly tuned and the assembly remains within designed suspension geometry limits.
