ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Kit for Ford Ranger Mk8 (2023 Onwards)

What This Suspension Kit Does for Your Ford Ranger

The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 300kg Constant 40mm Lift Suspension Kit is engineered to transform the ride, handling, and load-carrying ability of your Ford Ranger Mk8 (2023 onwards). Designed for demanding touring, off-road, and heavy-duty applications, this kit delivers improved control, comfort, and stability both on and off the tarmac. The BP-51 system features advanced internal bypass technology and full adjustability, allowing you to tailor suspension performance to your vehicle's load and the terrain ahead.

Real-World Problem Solved

Factory suspension often struggles with heavy loads, rough tracks, and variable driving conditions, leading to reduced comfort, stability, and control. The BP-51 kit addresses these issues by providing increased lift, enhanced damping, and superior heat dissipation, ensuring your Ranger remains composed whether towing, carrying gear, or traversing challenging terrain.

Where This Suspension Upgrade Excels

This kit is ideal for Ranger owners who regularly carry additional weight—such as touring setups, work equipment, or recovery gear—requiring consistent support and predictable handling. The 40mm lift and 300kg constant load rating make it suitable for:

  • Serious off-road expeditions
  • Long-distance touring with heavy payloads
  • Work vehicles with constant rear loads
  • Drivers seeking improved on-road comfort and control

Key Benefits of the BP-51 Suspension Kit

  • Fully adjustable compression and rebound damping for tailored ride quality
  • Position-sensitive internal bypass technology for comfort and control across all conditions
  • 40mm lift for increased ground clearance and improved approach/departure angles
  • Engineered for 300kg constant rear load—ideal for touring and work setups
  • Superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance from 6061 anodised aluminium shock bodies
  • Bolt-in, vehicle-specific design for straightforward installation
  • Proven reliability through extensive dyno, real-world, and destructive testing

BP-51 Suspension System Components

The kit includes all major components required for a comprehensive suspension upgrade:

  • Front coils
  • 2 x Front BP-51 shock absorbers
  • 2 x Rear leaf springs
  • 2 x Rear BP-51 shock absorbers
  • Greasable shackle
  • 2 x Bush kits
  • 4 x U-bolts
  • Driveline spacer kit

Every component is engineered to work in harmony, maximising the performance and durability of your Ranger’s suspension system.

Construction and Technical Details

Each BP-51 shock absorber is built from 51mm bore, 6061 grade anodised aluminium for optimal heat dissipation and corrosion resistance. The system uses position-sensitive damping, increasing control at suspension extremes while maintaining comfort at normal ride height. All parts are designed and manufactured in-house by ARB, ensuring precise fitment and long-term reliability.

Installation and Usage Notes

The BP-51 kit is a bolt-in, vehicle-specific upgrade—no fabrication or permanent modifications are required. External, independent rebound and compression adjustment allows you to fine-tune the suspension to suit changing loads or driving environments. Professional installation is recommended for best results, particularly to ensure correct setup and alignment.
