This is how a vehicle should handle

Honestly the best purchase i have made for my 2019 tacoma. Handles like a dream, instructions were simple and had all torque specs. Everything else i found on the internet. Recommend the SRQ adjustable sway bar links. Handles like brand new. The old man emu kit does lift the rear to 2.75 in and the front was a 2in from factory.

Poor service from ARB

WARNING, do not purchase unless you’re ok with mailing the suspension to Washington on your own dime to have them rebuild the shocks as they do not allow anyone else to do so.

Big difference offroad

I have a 19 Tacoma TRD Offroad with a Four Wheel Camper Project M pop up camper. I'm carrying at least 600 pounds all the time, and much more when camping. The stock suspension would bounce really bad in big potholes, dips, and ruts, and the stock Bilstein rear shocks were already shot at 38,000 miles. I installed the ARB Old Man Emu kit with the BP51 shocks, and the heavy load rear springs, and what a difference. The truck soaks up the big bumps now, without bouncing us. I'm very pleased with the ride offroad now. The kit did lift my truck higher than the claimed 2 inches, but I'm hoping the suspension will break in and settle a little lower. I did receive 1 bad rear shock in the kit, it was oily, and Shock Surplus took care of it fairly quickly.

Shickyshocks (that’s a good thing)!

I installed the rear shocks myself, but had a pro shop do my front coilovers and the alignment, so a little bit of diy which I enjoyed. I put on my gen 3 Tacoma, OME BP-51’s and a set of Icon RXT stage 3 (full pack with add a leaf) leaf springs. The support crew at ShockSurplus was outstanding and was appreciated just as much as the new feel good, highly adjustable ride. Thanks boyeeeez!

These were OK, until they broke prematurely...

Made it two years and have a broken rear shock. ARB has been zero help with sending a replacement, instead they want me to not have my daily driver for multiple weeks while they "investigate" to see if it's worthy of a repair under warranty. Not at all impressed with their support for this almost $5,000 set of shocks! I gave these a 5 star review at first because they seemed great. Now I can't recommend them at all. It's really too bad.

Is the body aluminum or steel?

Answers (1)

Stephen 09/05/2024

Aluminum. They are built well and ride amazing.

Tyson 06/18/2023

I have an after market bumper its aluminum so only 60 pounds and a smittybilt 10k winch up front will I need a heavier spring rate on the bp-51s so there's no sag? 2018 Toyota Tacoma.

Answers (1)

Shock Surplus 06/22/2023

You should be solid with the standard springs. These use a 650 lb coil so if anything you may need to add a little preload to get to your desired ride height, however they should have plenty of rate for your needs.

Edgar I. 03/22/2023

Will this work with the Dirt King long travel kit?

Shock Surplus 04/18/2023

No it will not.

Ernesto 09/27/2022

Do these come with HD springs if not are these shocks compatible with ome heavy duty springs

Answers (1)

Shock Surplus 09/27/2022

These come with 13" 650 lb coil springs which is similar in rate to the 2886 Heavy duty springs although not cross compatible

Kevin 09/19/2022

How is the ride quality with these on versus stock? My buddy has the 2021 tundra Trd pro with the Fox shocks and I love the ride quality. It’s sturdy yet soft when it comes to road riding and off roaring still. Will these produce a similar ride?

Answers (1)

Shock Surplus 09/19/2022

These use an almost identical design to the TRD PRO Fox 2.5s, so they will feel very similar, however, the additional travel and the huge range of compression and rebound adjustment should also allow you to surpass the ride and overall performance of the TRD Pro parts.
