Will the BP51's for the 2010-2012 FJ Cruisers fit and work correctly on a 2007-2009 F

[WarnerD9]

Looking to build a 2008 FJ Cruiser. I'm hoping that I can install the BP51 set up instead of the standard OME set up. Please let me know if you've been able to install these parts and what if any issues you encountered. Thanks!

I'd bet money they won't fit. Your best bet is to contact ARB USA directly and ask. I've had same-day responses to emails to them before.

You're looking at small, but significant changes in the dimensions between the J120 (2002-2009) and J150 (2009-Present) Prado platforms which is why every suspension manufacturer separates the 2007-2009 and 2010-2014 FJ Cruisers.

Same platform change applies to 4th-Gen to 5th-Gen 4Runners, and Lexus GX470 to GX 460.

Its not a direct but up for the '07-'09. For one, the shock tabs are closer together on the LCA and would have to be spread out about .25 - .5 of an inch. that's about as far as I got just test fitting (not my FJC). You may have to make a bracket for the remote res. Let us know if you get it to work though!

@Naptown thanks again for your response and site. We got them installed and they are awesome! I've ran FOX, standard OME, OME sport, and other and they blow the others out of the water.
