Project: Mercedes G65 AMG Portal Axle Conversion
Convert Your G55, G550, G63, or G65 G-class into a Mercedes G500 4×4²!
Get the G500 4×4² (aka G550 4×4² in the U.S.) look with the addition of portal axles, fender flares, wheels, and tires. The portal axles, as Mercedes uses on the 6×6 AMG and G500 4×4², add 4 inches of ground clearance. With the longer Eibach Springs and 35-inch tires, you will net about an 8″ lift. With 37″ tires, about a 9″ lift. The client can use their 20″ AMG wheels with 35 or 37-inch tires.
It’s safe, no codes, no maintenance issues, no undue wear-and-tear. The gears inside the portal do all of the work. Maintains all factory suspension components, though we do recommend the KING shocks with the OEM springs (or with the longer Eibach Springs).
We can ship all of the parts you need, including wider fender flares (OEM or non-OEM), to your local shop for installation. Or, we can pick up the vehicle and do the work here, then deliver to your home or office completely finished.
Worldwide Shipping available for the parts, and for complete vehicles. Shipping a completed G-class in 20-ft container to the Middle East, Africa, Asia, or South America is less thank you think — typically $3500-4500.
