Why Choose Portal Axles?
Unparalleled Ground Clearance
The portal axle raises the differential housing and axle tube above the wheel center, creating a 17-inch maximum clearance (compared to 9.5 inches in a standard G-Class). This ensures better off-road capabilities without compromising the drivetrain.
Improved Performance
The unique gear setup reduces axle stress, handles oversized wheels, and distributes torque evenly. Larger tires—up to 25 cm taller—become feasible, enhancing off-road and rugged terrain navigation.
No Speedometer Recalibration Needed
The kit preserves the factory driveline setup, so your speedometer remains accurate, simplifying installation and daily use.
Transform your Mercedes G-Class into a trail-dominating powerhouse with the Eurowise Portal Axle Conversion Kit. Enjoy the iconic G-Class silhouette, increased height, and off-road mastery while maintaining reliability and practicality. Perfect for enthusiasts who demand the best.
