The ARB LCBP51HKP is a factory-integrated heavy-load suspension upgrade system specifically engineered for the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series (model years 2008-2011 and 2013-2021, including Heritage Edition) equipped with the KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System). ARB USA
This kit combines the high-performance 51 mm bore BP-51 bypass shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, matched heavy-load coil springs and vehicle-specific upper control arms designed to restore geometry and handle significant accessory payloads.
Key Technical Features:
-
The BP-51 shocks employ full-length bypass circuits with independent adjustment for both compression and rebound, enabling fine-tuning of ride and handling across load and terrain variables.
-
Shock bodies, reservoirs and major components are machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with a Type 3 hard-anodised 40 µm coating for enhanced thermal dissipation, corrosion resistance and durability in harsh off-road environments. ARB USA
-
The included upper control arms address camber/caster deviation introduced by lifted or heavy-load setups—restoring alignment parameters while retaining factory mounting architecture.
-
The heavy-load calibration supports non-stock vehicle states (e.g., winch, heavy bumper, rooftop rack, overlanding gear) while maintaining articulation and ride height integrity.
-
Designed for bolt-on fitment without structural modification to the chassis or suspension mounting points; specifically compatible with KDSS-equipped Land Cruiser 200 models.
Fitment & Application:
-
Vehicle: Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series 2008-2011; 2013-2021 (Base, VX, VX-R, Heritage Edition) with KDSS. ARB USA
-
Intended for operators requiring reliable heavy-load suspension performance: overlanding, expedition, accessory-intensive builds.
-
Note: Post-installation alignment is required; verifying tire/wheel clearance and braking/steering system compatibility is strongly advised.

Q: Will the LCBP51HKP kit maintain proper suspension geometry on a KDSS-equipped Land Cruiser 200?
A: Yes. The kit is specifically engineered for KDSS models of the Land Cruiser 200, and includes upper control arms calibrated to restore camber and caster within factory limits under lifted/heavy-load conditions.
Q: How much adjustability is provided via the BP-51 shock absorbers in this kit?
A: The BP-51 units offer independent compression and rebound adjustability through full-length bypass circuits. This enables tuning for heavier loads, increased speeds, or variable terrain conditions.
Q: Does installation require any chassis modification or special fabrication?
A: No structural modifications are required. The kit uses OEM mounting points on the chassis and suspension, and is designed for direct bolt-on fitment for the specified vehicle models.
Q: What sort of maintenance considerations should be planned for this heavy-load suspension system?
A: Due to the heavy-duty nature and the bypass-valve complexity, periodic inspection of shock mounting hardware, reservoir hose routing, bushings, and torque of fasteners is recommended. Additionally, whenever accessory load or tire size is changed, a retune of damping and alignment is advisable.
Q: If the vehicle is not loaded (i.e., regular use without heavy gear), will the kit still function well?
A: Yes. Although calibrated for heavy-load scenarios, the BP-51 architecture can be tuned to lighter loads by adjustment of compression/rebound and preload settings. Users should ensure the springs and preload are set appropriately for the lower load state to maintain ride quality and handling.
