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

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.
