Hey everyone.

Picking up my new (to me) 2010 G55 tomorrow. I've been wanting one for a long time but the timing was just never right.. The last time I was seriously looking for one of these things about 5 years ago there weren't really any options out there for lifting aside from the custom route. Tonight I revisited the forum and to my surprise there now seems to be several kits available, but I can't really find any reviews.... I"m not going to spend the money on the portal axle system, so Im wondering if the less expensive kits like these are good options. I'm not interested in serious off roading, I'd just like to avoid dealing with error codes and the other issues that can com along with a mod like this on a vehicle that is known to not take well to these types of mods.

Any feedback would be highly appreciated!

Good luck with your search for lifts, I heard that the newer G's have issues with larger tire's and esp.

2 inch lift
I purchased 2 inch spacers from a fellow forum member Demitar Aleksandrov , and they have been great. Now I about to buy some 33 inch BFG all terrains
and I`m heading off road. the installation was quick and easy .
