Description

Get the Mercedes-Benz G63 4×4² look for the new 2019-on G-class W463A

with Portal Axles!

Now, G-class owners (also known as a Gwagen or G-wagon) can get almost 9″ of lift (portal axle conversion, springs, and 35″ tires) to get the ground clearance and look of the G63 AMG 4×4².

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Portals bolt-on to your existing axles.
• Instantly get a 130 mm lift (~5 inches)
• Additional “lift” or height increase from our 4″ lift kit and larger tires.
• The Gen 2 Portal Kit centers the wheel in the front wheel well so it’s easier to fit larger tires without cutting or rubbing.
• Proprietary 4-gear design: – Maintains the turning momentum of the wheels – Reduces the load and stress on the teeth of the gears – Reduces the temperature in the Portal box
• The Portal gear ratio of 1.22:1 will: – Match the larger tire size to maintain power and acceleration.  A stock 275/50-20 has an overall diameter off 30.83,” so if you are using a 35″ tire, the increase in overall diameter must be accounted for. – Reduce stress and strain on drivetrain from larger tires.
• Newly developed wheel sensors keep your ABS and ESP working properly, with no Errors or Codes.
• No additional costly change on the suspension, steering, or differential required.
• Minimum tire size should not be less than 255/85R16 (or 33″).
• Maximum recommended size should not be more than 315/75-16 (35”). Please inquire if you like to run larger tires (e.g., 37″ tires).
• Vehicle gross weight should not be more than 3.5 tons (3500 kg). The warranty on the parts is void if weight is in excess of 3.5 tons.
• Portals come with a manufacturer’s limited 1 year warranty against defects in material and craftsmanship prior to installation.
• Installation should be done by a skilled and trained mechanic.

PORTAL KIT INCLUDES:

• 4 Portal Boxes with Pre-installed Gears
• 2 Front Outer Steering Knuckles
• 2 Heavy Duty Front CV Joints
• 2 Heavy Duty Rear Axle Shafts
• 2 Rear Brake Calipers with Integrated Parking Brake
• Set of Axle Braces for Front & Rear Axles
• 4 ABS Sensors
• Mounting Bolts 

WHAT IS A PORTAL?
Bolt-on Portals attach to existing axles on your G-class W463. They have been engineered to maintain the rotational direction of the original axle by using 4 gears inside the drop-box. The design creates optimal distribution of torque across more gears. Therefore, more torque can be applied through the drop-box, while internal temperatures are maintained. The reduction/gear ratio of the “bolt-on portals” is 1.22:1, which is the equivalent of a 60% load reduction on the axle and drivetrain. With the drive ratios altered by a factor of 1.22, it is now possible to use larger tires without changing the ratio in your differential. The bolt-on portals increase the vehicle height by 125 mm (~5″). The increased height and ground clearance allows you to install 35″ tires (inquire about using 37″ tires – info@gwagenparts.com) without changing your factory suspension, and without modifying the vehicle or it’s chassis. Of course, to sit as high as the 4×4 Squared, customers will want to install our 4″ lift kit, as well. The axle and steering geometry is untouched, making this a safe and reliable bolt-on upgrade. If you are in a region where you must have the conversion certified for vehicle registration purposes, the fact that the suspension and it’s geometry are unchanged, should make the process a smooth one. “Bolt-on” Portals are the cost-effective and sensible alternative to heavy portal axles from utility vehicles, like the Mercedes Unimog. Portals which can be fitted to existing axles without changing the axles direction of rotation, so no modification to the axles, suspension, or steering is required.
