    So I picked it up from the dealer about 2wks ago, went down the next day to get wheels and tires, and ordered the lift. After doing my research I decided I wanted the OME BP-51 lift. Installed it this weekend, and I gotta say the product is very nice , straightforward install, instructions sucked but that’s to be expected. The lift ended up being 3.25” total, I am hoping it settles a bit.
    The ride quality is great, and I couldn’t be happier, thinking I need to put some wheel spacers on.

    Nice.. With all the ARB products in Toyota accessories line up I believe Toyota will go OME BP51 route. I think Trail Hunter builds are getting BP51.

    After it settled please let me know how good (or bad) they are on pavement absorbing potholes and cracks. I'm sure they are excellent on trails but I want something that is also good on pavement. Something good as a German SAV when we are spending a hefty price for suspension.

    Will do, I live down a washboard gravel road, and the pavement we do have is full of potholes.

    Couple questions:
    It appears there is an adjustable preload collar on the front shocks. Can the they be adjusted for height? Which spring did you get?

    Which model Daytona jack do you have? Been trying to figure out if I should get the Long Reach version or not. e.g. is the extra reach needed for a lifted 4Runner.

    The preload is adjustable, which I am pretty sure it will adjust the height on it. I left it where the were set from the factory. There isn't any different spring options for the front that I am aware of.

    For the rear spring I went with the medium duty (400#) because I do tow a fishing boat and enclosed dirt bike trailer 5-6 times a month, so I figured that would be the better option.

    The jack is just the standard 3ton Rapid jack, I didn't get the long reach because I didn't have a use for it at the time I bought it, I will probably pick one up though, it will make things easier for sure.

    Yeah I can see that being a better financial decision for them, I would of been extremely impressed if they came with the BP-51's tho....

    I think Trail Hunter line up will still have BP-51s. I wonder whats the damage for the price tag.

    Nice, I would bet it adds a hefty amount to the sticker price, I really wish that Toyota would of done that setup for the Heritage, That would of made it worth buying.
