Best Overland Suspension? Dobinsons MRR VS OME BP-51

‪@DobinsonsSuspension‬ Dobinsons MRRs and ‪@ARB4x4Accessories‬ OME BP-51s are by far and away our favorite high end dampers designed for how most people are using their vehicles. Rather than be optimized for all out high speed off road performance like many of their similarly priced competitors, these shocks are designed for maximum comfort and stability at more moderate speeds out on the trail and on your daily commute. Whether you are riding light or loaded, both options have you covered with plenty of support, stability, and plush sensibilities. There is no real winner here but there is probably a better option for your needs, so kick back, relax, and follow along to see which of these cushy riding heavy weights is right for you.

thank you for making these videos.

I have narrowed down my shock selection for my tacoma to this two options, so I'm glad this video came out, I am leaning towards the dobinsons because they seem to offer better flex as compared to the OMEs, and I'm trying to maximize flex (without having to weld or cut anything of my truck), but boy I want the OMEs

I went with the BP51'S because in the MMR's were more expensive and setting up the spring rates on the site was confusing. I knew pretty much all the cons of the BP51'S but so far they're running pretty good. I personally work on my own vehicles and enjoy doing so I'll deal with cons later and hopefully I get some good mileage out of them. Great vid as usual from shock surplus

Have bp-51 on my 2012 Defender couldn’t be happier. Made specifically for the car. The only thing I would change is the adjustability, but understand they are like that because of the internal bypass.

I'm looking at the Dobinson MRR for my Tacoma. I want a 3" lift. But also have plans to get a super pacific camper and armor. Unfortuately I can't get everything at one time. What do you recommend? If I get the spring rate for the camper how would it effect ride quality as suppose to get the spring rate for stock w/ 3" lift then upgrade springs later? Trying to avoid spending extra money.

Im trying to decide between these two shocks for my daily driver on gravel roads with lots of potholes and washboard sections. Assuming a 2" lift would you recommend the MRR or BP51 for a smoother and more comfortable ride?

I have purchased the AG Shocks and have not installed them yet. But it looks like they are better than these and on par with Reiger or Ohlins.
Having electronic adjustments is the future

[@J.Young808]

AG? What brand and since there is electronic are they much more expensive?

[@user-eh4ii2iy5i]

​@@J.Young808They are made of 7075 aluminum. Superior engineering is the brand that distributes them in Australia.
