ARB / OME Bp51 Shock Absorber Jeep Wrangler JL Front Long

Old Man Emu brings racing technology to every day adventures: BP-51 (Bypass 51mm diameter bore) shock absorbers feature revolutionary, patent pending technology developed to deliver unparalleled on and off road performance. Developed and extensively tested under the harshest conditions in Australia, these big bore, position sensitive bypass shock absorbers with remote reservoir are designed to bolt onto your vehicle without any vehicle modifications and combine considerable ride comfort around town with significant amounts of end-zone damping for exceptional chassis control and handling off road. The damping performance is easily adjustable across a wide range of rebound and compression, resulting in significant changes to the ride performance of your vehicle, enabling a custom tune to suit the conditions and vehicle set up. The body, reservoir and components are all made from 6061 T6 aluminum, Type 3 40 micron hard anodized ensuring exceptional heat dissipation, corrosion resistance and resistance to stone damage. Not only designed, developed and tested entirely by ARB's team of Old Man Emu ride engineers, all BP-51 shock absorbers are manufactured in-house by ARB. In order to achieve this, significant investment has been made in state of the art machinery providing ARB total control of the manufacturing process to ensure the highest possible quality.

The ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 Front Long Shock Absorber, part number BP5160033, brings advanced racing-inspired suspension technology to everyday driving and off-road adventures. Designed for 2018–2019 Jeep Wrangler JL applications, this front shock absorber combines comfortable on-road ride quality with enhanced chassis control and end-zone damping for demanding terrain. Its bypass design uses position-sensitive damping to help provide controlled suspension performance across a wide range of driving conditions.
The BP-51 shock absorber features an integrated remote reservoir and on-car adjustability for rebound and compression. Drivers can fine-tune the shock to suit changing terrain, vehicle setup, and personal ride preferences without removing it from the vehicle. The bolt-on design is engineered for installation without vehicle modifications, making it a practical upgrade for Jeep owners seeking more capable and adaptable suspension performance. This long-body front shock absorber is designed to work with compatible lifted suspension configurations.
The shock body, reservoir, and internal components are manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum and protected with Type 3 hard anodizing for improved heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and protection against stone damage. Old Man Emu ride engineers developed and extensively tested the BP-51 under demanding Australian conditions, while ARB manufactures the shock absorbers in-house to maintain close control over production quality. With its adjustable bypass technology, durable construction, and vehicle-specific fitment, the ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 is a strong choice for drivers who want improved handling and suspension control on and off the road.
