W163 Suspension Lift Plates – 40mm Lift for Mercedes ML
Enhance your Mercedes-Benz W163’s off-road capability and stance with our 40mm (2") Suspension Lift Plates/Spacers. Designed to work with factory springs and struts, this kit offers a reliable lift for ML320, ML430, ML500, and ML55 AMG models—without sacrificing daily comfort.
Key Features
- 40mm Lift Height – Adds approximately 2 inches of ground clearance.
- Factory-Compatible – Uses OEM struts and springs; no shock or coil replacement required.
- Durable Steel/Alloy Construction – Built to withstand off-road stress and harsh environments.
- Improved Approach & Departure Angles – More confidence on trails, ruts, and steep inclines.
- Easy Bolt-On Install – No cutting or welding required.
Vehicle Compatibility
| Model | Chassis | Engine | Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| ML320 | W163 | M112 V6 | 1998–2005 |
| ML430 | W163 | M113 V8 | 1999–2001 |

Optional ECU Tuning Available
Want more than just ground clearance? We also offer ECU tuning for the ML320, ML500, and ML55 AMG. Tunes can be tailored to your driving style:
- Off-Road / Low-End Torque Tune — More torque below 3,000 RPM, smoother throttle for crawling and towing.
- Highway / Performance Tune — Faster throttle response, stronger midrange for highway pulls and spirited driving.
Best results are achieved with supporting mods like high-flow intake, panel filter, or free-flow exhaust.
Installation Notes
Important: Six longer bolts are required for the front spring perch. OEM studs are too short after lifting. No cutting or welding required.
