Transform Your Mercedes-Benz G-Class with the DMC RHD 4×4² Lift Kit Bolt-On Portal
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, known for its ruggedness and off-road capabilities, can be taken to the next level with the DMC RHD 4×4² Lift Kit Bolt-On Portal. This kit is designed for the 2019+ G500/G63 models (W464 & W463A) and is available for both left-hand drive (LHD) and right-hand drive (RHD) versions. With this kit, you can convert your G-Class into the formidable 4×4², also known as a G-wagon, enhancing its off-road prowess and overall performance.
Enhanced Rear Axle Design
The rear axle of the DMC 4×4² Lift Kit features a rigid axle with portals. This innovative design places the axle tube and differential above the center of the wheel, providing significant ground clearance. This configuration not only improves the vehicle’s off-road capability but also protects critical components from rough terrain and obstacles.
Optimized Front Portal Boxes
The front portal boxes are engineered to seamlessly integrate with the independent suspension of the front axle, ensuring increased driving comfort without compromising the vehicle’s rugged nature. These portal boxes are crucial in maintaining the vehicle’s smooth ride while navigating challenging terrains.
Unmatched Ground Clearance and Load Distribution
One of the standout features of the portal axles is their ability to provide unique ground clearance. The portal reduction transmits power directly to the wheels, reducing the load on the entire drivetrain. This is because the complete torque is applied directly to the wheel itself. With this system, the vehicle’s suitability for everyday use is maintained, and the ABS system continues to function normally.
Bolt-On Portals: A Seamless Integration
The “Bolt-On Portals” are designed to attach to the existing axles without altering the direction of rotation. This is achieved using a set of four gears in each portal, which helps distribute the load across multiple gear flanks. This distribution allows for greater force transmission and significantly reduces temperature development during operation.
Improved Gear Ratio and Axle Performance
The portals feature a gear ratio of 1.16:1, which reduces the load on the axles and changes the overall axle ratio by the same factor. This modification allows for the installation of larger wheels without further alterations to the chassis. As a result, the vehicle gains approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of additional ground clearance, providing an impressive lift.
Accommodating Larger Wheels
The DMC 4×4² Lift Kit enables the installation of wheels that are up to 25 cm larger than those that would be typically used without portal axles. This substantial increase in wheel size further enhances the vehicle’s ground clearance and off-road capability. Typically, such large wheels would require extensive and costly modifications, but the portal kit simplifies this process by making it plug-and-play.
Comprehensive Kit Components
The DMC portal kit includes all necessary components for installation:
- Four portal boxes with pre-installed gears
This comprehensive setup ensures that the transformation of your G-Class is smooth and efficient.
Conclusion
The DMC RHD 4×4² Lift Kit Bolt-On Portal for the Mercedes-Benz G500/G63 is a revolutionary upgrade that significantly enhances the vehicle’s off-road performance and visual appeal. By providing exceptional ground clearance and accommodating larger wheels, this kit transforms the G-Class into a true off-road beast while maintaining everyday usability and comfort. If you’re looking to elevate your G-Wagon to new heights, the DMC 4×4² Lift Kit is an unparalleled choice.
