I earlier had the regular OME lift on a grand Cherokee and they performed great. Not too hard and enhanced control. But check the stiffness of the coils you will add depending on whether you have steel bumpers, winch etc

Thanks Aidy, i was going for them until Violetta mentioned the BP51, i contacted ARB, and they are running a ramadan discount on them. From around 10700 original to 8700 now. Plus 400 installations and need to add rear spring. I believe over all price will be around 9400.

Is it worth it, i dont know!! Should i wait and go for the big guys (kings, fox, radflo, etc) or r these as good as them. Hmmmm

profender you have several choices

1- 2.0 with remote reservoir (8 clicks) cheap price in market 3500 4 shocks
2- 2.5 with remote reservoir (8 clicks) cheap price in market 4500 4 shocks depends on the availability
3- 2.5 Triple bypass (36 clicks) expected price in market 6000+ 4 shocks expect to be available soon
regarding the performance, I guess there is a good number of members in our Beloved Club using The Profender me my self I use them since one year back and totally satisfied on/offroad very smooth drive maximum speed in gatch reached with the profender 140km/h

if you interested i can grab for you great deal

I had ARB OME on my FJ. Had really bad crabbing where the back of the car car would bounce sideways on a side slope. Personally I would not recommend if doing anything too advanced.

Radflo vs BP51

I have BP51 on a land cruiser and Radflo on the FJ. BP51s are good, not quite as adept as Radflo especially if you get to an area which creates more severe compression and rebound. I have more confidence in the Radflo’s being able to soak things up and keep very stable than the BP51s. However I don’t think you will be disappointed with them, especially for the price.

Hi Zeebzog, what stage RadFlo's have you got ? External reservoir, adjustable compression ? What do you think of Fox ? Thanks !

Thanks guys,

Zeebzog, for me now Radflo is a bit pricey, BP51 is affordable for now, if am going to go for advanced level u think they will do right? I have a very good feedback on them, some even say they r equal to king
