The ARB OMELC08BP51H Heavy Load Suspension Lift Kit is a precision-engineered suspension system tailored for the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (08–11, 13–21 models) utilising the advanced BP-51 (51 mm bore) bypass shock technology.
Comprised of major components—big-bore bypass shocks with remote reservoirs, calibrated coil springs, and matching mount hardware—the kit integrates directly with the OEM chassis without requiring structural modifications. The BP-51 units are developed with position-sensitive bypass circuits, enabling a broad tuning window for both compression and rebound to dynamically adapt to ride conditions, from on-road comfort to aggressive off-road articulation.

Constructed with bodies and reservoirs machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with Type 3 40-micron hard anodising, the kit delivers high heat dissipation, improved corrosion resistance, and enhanced durability in harsh environments. Designed for heavy-load scenarios, this suspension kit accommodates additional vehicle payload—such as overlanding gear, rooftop loads, or winch systems—while preserving chassis control and articulation under stress.

Expert-Oriented FAQ:
Q: Will the OMELC08BP51H kit maintain correct chassis geometry and ride height on the LC200?
A: Yes. The kit is engineered to integrate into the factory mounting structure of the Land Cruiser 200 without altering the chassis geometry. Ride height is managed via calibrated springs in the kit; no unintended alteration should occur if installed correctly.
Q: How does the BP-51 bypass technology affect ride performance under heavy load?
A: The BP-51 system features a 51 mm internal diameter and bypass circuits that activate depending on piston position and velocity, providing progressive damping. Under heavy load, this results in controlled compression and rebound behaviour, reducing top-out and bottom-out harshness.
Q: Does the kit require any structural modifications to the vehicle or additional fabrication?
A: No structural modifications are required for the vehicles specified (Toyota Land Cruiser 200: 2008-11 & 2013-21). The kit is designed for bolt-on installation using existing mounting points.
Q: What is the suitability of this kit for off-road versus on-road duty?
A: The system is balanced to deliver on-road ride comfort and off-road capability. The bypass shocks’ dual nature allows for smooth transition between normal driving and more aggressive terrain, making it capable for mixed use.
Q: Are there any limitations regarding vehicle load, accessory fitment (roof racks, winches, etc.), or maintenance considerations?
A: This heavy-load kit is designed to accommodate additional payload from accessories such as roof racks and winches; however, additional accessories may still require alignment, tyre clearance checks, and periodic inspection of suspension components due to higher stresses. Regular service and damping re-tune may be recommended for optimum performance.
