ARB BP-51 shocks
Had a good look at the new ARB bypass shocks at the camping show today meant to be available for JK in 2" and 4" with in a month. $550-$600 a corner they are an awesome looking thing massive shaft beautifully machined bodies and fully adjustable, rebuildable and reshimmable. But can't find any real life reviews on then yet as they are still so new.
How does the pricing compare to Fox 2.0 or Kings??

Had a chat with a couple yesterday at the Topless drive day in Melbourne who did the Simpson and have Fox remote reservoir shocks fitted.
To say they leaked like a sieve would be the understatement of the century.
You can get remote reservoir Bilstein shocks out of the US for just over $1000 for all 4 corners.

for that sort of money you can buy Kings, Walker Evans, Bilstein, Fox etc.. The ARB's look nice but are overpriced in my opinion..
I would have a good hard look at the Walker Evans shocks in that price range.. Remote res, compression adjustment and good lengths.. I believe Jeep Konection have access to them

How much are the ARB shocks in the US?
Half what we pay like most of their stuff, even though it is made here?
