ARB Heavy-Load Suspension Kit with BP-51 Bypass Shocks & Upper Control Arms – (08-21) LC200 | LCBP51HP

The LCBP51HP kit is an integrated heavy-load suspension system engineered for the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (2008-2011; 2013-2021) series. It combines the signature 51 mm-bore BP-51 bypass shock absorbers with a remote reservoir, high-performance coil springs and matched upper control arms—designed for users outfitting the vehicle with additional payload such as winches, roof racks, expedition gear, or heavy bumpers.

Key Technical Features:

• The BP-51 bypass shocks feature position-sensitive bypass circuits that allow independent tuning of compression and rebound damping for a wide range of terrain and load conditions. ARB USA

• Shock bodies and remote reservoirs are machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with Type 3, 40-micron hard anodising for enhanced heat dissipation and corrosion resistance.

• Upper control arms restore correct camber and caster alignment following heavy-load suspension installation, maintaining geometry within design tolerances for optimal handling.

• Designed to install via OEM mounting points without structural modifications to the vehicle chassis.

• Engineered for “heavy-load” use—specified for vehicles carrying additional accessories, large gear loads, or overlanding configurations.

Fitment & Application:

Compatible with Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series from 2008-2011 and 2013-2021 models (including Heritage Edition) as a heavy-load suspension upgrade.

This Part Fits:

• Q: What does “heavy-load” mean in the context of the LCBP51HP kit?
  A: “Heavy-load” refers to the kit’s specification for vehicles that carry additional mass—such as expedition gear, winches, roof racks or large accessories—beyond standard OEM equipment. The matching springs and bypass shock tuning are calibrated to maintain ride height, control and durability under those increased loads.

• Q: How does the upper control arm component affect suspension geometry?
  A: The included upper control arms are designed to correct camber and caster changes induced by increased suspension travel or lift. They maintain proper alignment parameters which help preserve tyre wear characteristics, steering behaviour and suspension articulation.

• Q: Will the LCBP51HP kit require modifications to the vehicle chassis?
  A: No, this kit is engineered to install with no major structural alterations. It uses existing mounting points on the chassis and is designed for direct-bolt fitment on the specified Land Cruiser 200 models.

• Q: Can the damping characteristics be tuned after installation?
  A: Yes, the BP-51 bypass shocks allow independent adjustment of both compression and rebound damping. This enables fine-tuning of ride quality and handling depending on load, terrain and vehicle setup. ARB USA

• Q: What maintenance considerations should an installer keep in mind for this kit?
  A: Because the system is designed for high-performance and heavy-load use, periodic inspection of bushings, control-arm joints and shock fasteners is recommended. Also verify that preload and damper settings remain consistent with the vehicle’s load state, and check that accessory fitment (e.g., roof gear or winch) does not alter suspension travel beyond design limits.
