For owners of the Mercedes G-Class W463 [2nd Generation], achieving the iconic look and enhanced off-road capability of the G 500 4×4² or the G 63 AMG 6×6 is now easier than ever. The 125mm Standard Portal Axle Kit from GwagenParts offers a straightforward and effective solution to lift your G-wagon without compromising its factory specifications or electronic systems. This innovative kit provides a significant lift while maintaining the integrity and performance of your vehicle’s original design.
Why Choose the 125mm Standard Portal Axle Kit?
When we first ventured into providing lift kits for the G-class, we recognized several critical concerns. The G-wagon’s suspension system, meticulously engineered and refined by Mercedes-Benz, is a marvel of automotive design. Altering this intricate system with longer springs and shocks could disrupt the vehicle’s performance and longevity. Our goal was to find a solution that enhanced ground clearance without compromising the original suspension geometry or causing issues with the vehicle’s sophisticated electronics.
The 125mm Standard Portal Axle Kit addresses these concerns perfectly. This kit allows for a substantial lift of approximately 5 inches without altering the suspension system or triggering error codes in vehicles equipped with OEM Electronic Damping. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a lifted G-wagon without the common drawbacks associated with traditional lift kits.
Key Benefits of the Portal Axle Kit
Maintains Factory Specifications
The Portal Axle Kit is designed to bolt onto your existing axles, preserving the original suspension geometry. This approach ensures that the handling characteristics and ride quality of your G-wagon remain unchanged. The kit’s proprietary 4-gear design maintains the turning momentum of the wheels, reducing the load and stress on the gears and keeping internal temperatures in check.
Compatible with Electronic Damping
One of the significant advantages of the 125mm Portal Axle Kit is its compatibility with the G-wagon’s electronic damping system. Traditional lift kits often lead to error codes and malfunctions in the vehicle’s electronics, but our Portal Axle Kit includes newly developed wheel sensors that keep your ABS and ESP systems functioning correctly, free from errors or warning lights.
Enhanced Off-Road Capability
The lift provided by the Portal Axle Kit not only gives your G-wagon a commanding presence on the road but also significantly improves its off-road performance. With an increased height and ground clearance, your G-wagon can tackle rough terrain with ease. The ability to accommodate larger tires further enhances traction and stability on challenging surfaces.
Preserves Power and Performance
For G-wagon owners who have invested in performance upgrades, such as the ETG ECU Upgrade that boosts power to 710 HP and 780 LB-FT, maintaining this performance is crucial. The Portal Axle Kit’s gear ratio of 1.22:1 matches the larger tire size, ensuring that your vehicle’s power and acceleration are not compromised. This ratio also reduces stress on the drivetrain, prolonging the life of your vehicle’s components.
