And still no OME listed for JT out on ARBs page..... just checked again 2 days ago.
@ARB_USA focused on the new Bronco instead of developing the product line for the JT. Hopefully, they will catch up and release BP-51s for the JT.

As of a month ago when I talked to the OME engineer when he was here in the USA, no updates, unfortunately.

Based on some videos I have seen now you should check out the Bilstein external bypass option. @Northridge4x4 does carry those and they look super slick - and also sorta turn a regressive shock into a progressive just by how the bypass works. Probably in the same price point as the ARB options if they ever make their

Do you know if they valve the fronts differently on the diesel application? Part of my Justification for adjustables. I love their products tho.

Just got an email from ARB, they said they are back on the Gladiator BP-51 project, but they do not yet have any projections on when they might be finished. Which is good. We'd rather have them develop something that works great, like the rest of their BP-51 line-up.

Yes, the Bilstein 8100s are awesome.




We've had them on two different JTs now. They work great and are easy to adjust, though Bilstein has the factory settings dialed in pretty good.

Bummer, seems I missed the shipment and they're not backordered everywhere. My wife hates the Rubicon Fox 2.0s, the floaty feeling is no good for people that get motion sickness. Might have to try some Rancho's and see if they'll do in the meantime since they have the money-back guarantee.
