Bolt-On Portals for Mercedes G-class W463A

Bolt-On Portals ~ Mercedes G-Wagon G Class NEW MODEL 463A – Portal axles. The new portal axles giving your Mercedes G a 4 inch (10cm) true lift. The new system integrates fully all electronic like ABS / ESP, etc, as well the top speed is just slightly reduced and not limited.

What you might want to know about portal axles: The axle is a rigid axle with portals, this means that the axle tube and the differential housing are situated above the wheel center. The portal boxes at the front half axles are designed to fit perfectly with the new comfortable single wheel suspension.The portal reduction guides the power to the wheels. Portals will give your vehicle a unique ground clearance. The portal gear ratio reduces the load on the complete drive train since the torque acts only on the wheel. With our solution, the vehicle’s suitability for everyday use remains intact and the ABS system also works as usual. “Bolt On Portals” are portals that are installed on the existing axles. They are designed in order to maintain the rotating direction of the axles. This is accomplished by using 4 cogwheels in the portal. Another advantage of using 4 cogwheels is that the load is distributed to the tooth flanks of several cogwheels so that more power can be transmitted while the increase in temperature is considerably lower. A portal gear ratio of 1,16-1 is equivalent to the reduction of the load on the axles. Of course, the overall axle ratio changes corresponding to the factor 1,16, which makes it possible to drive large wheels without having to adjust the gear ratio of the differentials. The portals will give the vehicle a “lift” of about 4 inches (10 cm). No further modifications have to be made to the suspension in order to drive larger wheels and the entire axle and steering geometry is maintained. This is the only way to really achieve a proper ground clearance. The additional ground clearance under the differential is 10 cm due to the portals plus the additional ground clearance through the use of larger wheels; wheels that are 25 cm larger than those you normally would drive. There is actually no need to mention that wheels that are 25 cm larger would mean certain death for most axles, let alone the expense for the expensive modifications that are necessary to install such large wheels. The portal kit contains the following parts: 4 portal boxes with pre-installed gear units
