Still waiting for @ARBUSA to get us Old Man Emu suspension for JT.

Shame we don't have an option from what was once a great option for Jeeps.

Agreed. This is my first (out of 4) Jeep without an OME suspension!

I feel you. I’ve had old man emu on my last two vehicles. I reached out to them last year about this time and was told July 2021…as you can tell, that time has come and gone. I did my best attempt at making a similar Franken-kit using eibach 2” springs, Bilstein 5100s, mopar lower control arms, synergy track bar, and a teraflex rear track bar relocation bracket. Carries weight in the bed better and great on road characteristics. I might add the Aev geo bracket.

Its sad but,The Aev kit is the best possible solution to compete with arb.

I agree. I have been running the OME Bp-51 on my Tacoma for the past 5 years and I love the suspension especially on bumpy trails where I pass up a lot of people when it soaks up the terrain. Way more heavy duty than Mojave suspension. I ended up going factory Mopar 2" but it's nothing compared to the ride of the OME.

Well it kinda exists I saw ARB factory gladiator build has BP-51’s

Anyone knows when BP-51 will be available for JT?

Why things are going slow?? well,, there was that little worldwide pandemic. Now we got supply chain issues and can't find people to work. Australia has been locked down tight. Now we got run away inflation but we're going to build back better.

I wouldn’t blame the delay completely on the pandemic. The jl and jt basically came out at the same time. Another thing is that they also rolled out a complete line of bronco products before they have even released the jt lift. They just didn’t put much energy into it or they haven’t worked out all the bugs from the system. It will be a good kit when they get it to the market. Old man emu did the same thing when with wk2 grand Cherokee. It took 3years for them to release a kit for it.

What is so different about it?

The JL is 2 model years ahead.

I’ve been patiently waiting for this kit to come out as well. I messaged ARB USA and this is the response I got from them:

“We have no eta on when or if there will be any Gladiator suspension.”

Then wtf was that video about showing a gladiator suspension lol

Sorry folks, it probably won't happen. New management is going after the OE market more than the Jeep market. Thus the Ranger, Bronco, and now the new Tacoma have ARB-designed products off the lot.

I agree
OME was a killer option for the TJs.
