ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Kit for Ford Ranger Mk7 Double Cab
The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Kit is a premium, vehicle-specific upgrade designed for the Ford Ranger Mk7 (2019–2022) Double Cab. Engineered to support an additional 600kg constant load and deliver a 45–50mm lift, this kit is ideal for owners who demand enhanced on- and off-road performance, improved ride comfort, and increased load-carrying capability.
How the BP-51 Suspension Kit Transforms Your Ford Ranger
This suspension kit replaces the factory setup with advanced BP-51 shock absorbers and tailored springs, allowing you to handle heavier loads, rougher terrain, and more demanding driving conditions. The BP-51's multi-internal bypass design provides a smoother ride at standard height while offering the adjustability needed for different loads and driving styles. The 51mm bore diameter ensures greater oil volume for temperature control, which is especially valuable during extended off-road use or when towing.
Where This Suspension Upgrade Excels
The BP-51 kit is particularly suited for Ford Ranger owners who:
Regularly carry heavy equipment, tools, or expedition gear (up to 600kg constant load)
Require additional ground clearance for off-road adventures or larger tyres
Want to improve comfort and control both on the road and on challenging tracks
Need a tailored suspension solution for touring, overlanding, or commercial use
This upgrade helps maintain correct vehicle balance and handling after fitting accessories such as canopies, drawer systems, or long-range fuel tanks.
Key Benefits of the ARB BP-51 Suspension Kit
Multi-internal bypass shock design for superior ride comfort and control
Independent compression and rebound adjustment to fine-tune ride preferences
45–50mm lift for improved approach, departure, and breakover angles

Vehicle-specific fitment – no modification required for the Ford Ranger Mk7 Double Cab
Construction and Technical Details
The BP-51 shock absorbers are engineered with a 51mm bore, allowing for increased oil capacity and improved heat dissipation. The hard anodised finish enhances durability, while the oversized rubber bushings provide long-lasting reliability. The kit includes all necessary components for installation on the specified Ford Ranger model, ensuring a straightforward upgrade process.
Installation and Usage Notes
This suspension kit is designed for direct fitment to the Ford Ranger Mk7 (2019–2022) Double Cab. No cutting or welding is required, and all mounting hardware is included. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup, especially when adjusting compression and rebound settings for your specific load and driving requirements. After installation, a wheel alignment is advised to optimise handling and tyre wear.
Why Ford Ranger Owners Choose the BP-51 Kit
Factory suspension systems are often not designed to handle the demands of heavy loads and frequent off-road use. This can lead to reduced ride quality, poor handling, and premature wear. The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension Kit solves these issues by providing a robust, adjustable solution that maintains comfort and control, even when your Ranger is fully loaded or tackling challenging terrain. Widely used in demanding off-road and overland applications, the BP-51 system is trusted by enthusiasts and professionals alike.
