ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Kit 300–600kg 45–50mm Lift – Ford Ranger Mk7 (2019–2022) Double Cab

Premium Suspension Upgrade for Ford Ranger Mk7 Double Cab

The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Kit is engineered for Ford Ranger Mk7 (2019–2022) Double Cab owners who demand more from their vehicle—whether for serious off-road use, heavy touring loads, or everyday reliability. This kit is specifically tuned for vehicles carrying 300–600kg of additional weight, delivering a 45–50mm lift to maintain correct ride height and handling under load.

What the BP-51 Suspension Kit Does for Your Ranger

This BP-51 kit replaces your factory suspension with advanced multi-internal bypass shock absorbers and tailored springs, designed to address the limitations of standard setups when carrying significant accessories or cargo. The system delivers a smoother ride on-road and greater control off-road, thanks to independent compression and rebound adjustment. Owners can fine-tune ride quality and handling to suit changing loads or driving conditions, making it ideal for expedition builds, trade vehicles, or touring setups.

Why Choose This 300–600kg BP-51 Kit Over Other Variants?

This specific BP-51 kit is optimised for Ford Ranger Mk7 Double Cabs carrying moderate to heavy constant loads—such as drawer systems, canopies, long-range tanks, or permanently fitted accessories. Compared to lighter-duty BP-51 kits, this version uses firmer springs and matched shock valving to maintain stability and correct ride height under sustained weight. It is not intended for vehicles with minimal load or for single cab/extra cab variants—ensuring you get the right balance and performance for your build.

Solving Real-World Load and Ride Challenges

Factory suspension often struggles with extra weight from touring gear, trade equipment, or off-road accessories. This can lead to sagging, poor handling, and reduced ground clearance. The BP-51 kit is designed to solve these issues, allowing your Ranger to carry heavy loads confidently, maintain stability, and tackle rough terrain without compromise. For owners who regularly travel remote or challenging environments, this upgrade delivers the safety, comfort, and control needed for demanding journeys.
