Bypass shocks are becoming more common in the aftermarket 4x4 world with ARB now with an offering, the BP51. Is anyone on here running them on a lifted rover?
Do they come with pin options or are they only eye to eye?

As far as I was aware, they're not available for Land Rovers yet. Happy to be wrong on the subject.

I guess the trick is if there not do they sell ones that will fit or be adapted to fit with different mounts or pin to eye converters

Had a look at these the other day, look pretty good. Can't see why you couldn't use cruiser ones

ARB Innisfail told me they weren't available, so I went with Terrafirma all round and HD King springs. Very happy with this set up.

Arb bp51 vs terriblefirma. Not in the same league as the bd51 is what i meant.

I'm sure that's the case, but if they're not available, you have to use something. If MRA in Brisbane recommend and fit the Terrafirma product, that's good enough for me.
Perhaps even if the ARB product becomes available, I'll change, but who knows how long that will be?
Till then, l'll keep with Terrafirma, and report back any failure. (Cape York, the Simpson and the Canning are all planned within the next 12 months, of course, I'll carry a spare shock etc.)

I'd take a full set for the canning, i've seen how quickly shocks die there.
