- Mercedes Benz M-Class ML270 W163 Off Road. Tires - BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2. Extended kingsprings and torsion bar lift. 10mm spacers on rear shocks.
Great video, this trucks are great off readers, it looks lifted, what kind of lift kit did you use? & how many inches?
Extended kingsprings and torsion bar lift. 10mm spacers on rear shocks.
@@RogerEssigArtist Thanks! I adjusted my 01
ML 320 the front torsion bar to 30 millimeters, I was thinking of lifting the rear springs with 1/12 inch spacers
Put some power steering oil in she’s a Tank
That is cool I love the paint job on the car similar to my car
I've just bought a W163 ML430. What's the legality of using spacer to raise the suspension in Australia? Reading government guidelines they seem to be saying no spacers, but I'm not sure in what capacity, or how they mean exactly, it seems like something that is very commonly done?'
Could you tell me how much lift you got at the back, using the King Springs and the 10mm spacer? I'm looking to get 40-50mm lift.
Just done the EGR shunt mod to my 270....what an amazing difference! Have you done yours? So much more power down low.
Not yet! I'll keep that in mind, cheers.
Impressive stuff gives me some confidence to try taking mine a little more off road. What is the best way to use the traction aid off road, from what i have read and seen online you need to make the wheels spin before the traction aids really make a difference
Also turn off the ESP system, and it'll work better.
So good. Any updates on the vehicle one year on? Thinking of doing same mods to mine.
No further mods. Just added a roof-rack, with solar planel and LED lightbar
Cool. So if you don‘t mind me asking, if you could start over would you have done anything differently? Seems to me you‘ve hit the sweet spot in terms of onroad/offroad capability and price? Slightly unsure about tyre brand, have heard those BFs are not the best on wet roads? Many thanks for sharing all this, it‘s been a great help & inspiration!
Currently happy with the balance of off-road/on-road ability. It's a bit higher in the rear, so i could 'index the spines' of the front torsion bar to make the merc more level. Tyres are great! No issues.
@@RogerEssigArtist Awesome, thanks! Might touch base again if I get stuck. Appreciate the quick response too! Would be sweet if you get time for an update vid showing roof rack, interior mods etc. Thanks again.
Awesome truck, I'm jealous, how big are you're k02s?
