G550 2019 lift warning
1.5” lift with BFG 275/55R20.
I lifted my g550 with a 40mm spring kit and now my adaptable suspension is screwed up. Warning light goes off ever time I start the vehicle and the suspension setting is constantly in sport mode. Any advise welcome.

Looks amazing though! That approach angle is hot! I would love to do the same. Mine is being produced this week. Same color combo but with the all black AMG package wheels.
More pictures of your G please!
This is the very reason I skipped out on the adaptive suspension. Some lifts note “not compatible with adaptive suspension”.
Driving in sport mode isn’t necessarily a bad thing with that lift given the quicker rebound rates.
What spring kit did you use? Please let us know how the ride quality is!

What size tires do you have? I did a 1 1/2” custom lift (dealer here in Denver did it), and currently have 275/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on it. Don’t love the tires, and think I can fit 275/65/20. Thinking about switching to either KO2 or Falken AT3. Any thoughts b/w those options, or other options?
Love the look of yours. Mine is same color (Designo Graphite).

New custom springs. Yes, dealer service dept can source them (MB of Littleton).
Except for the tires, I like the ride. Definitely better for off-road. Still handles very good on road. I drive aggressive, and it’s not a Cayenne. Body roll is slightly more noticeable than stock, but performance is still shockingly good for a truck that sits this high.
Glad I did it, but probably wouldn’t do it on a G63. I also have the Renntech tune. Definitely recommend that.
I go back and forth about wanting a sporty car. Love the G. Hard for one car to do everything, but it’s close.

Called MB Littleton about the springs a few days ago but they are yet to get back to me. By any chance, are your new springs blue? I’m thinking they might be the H&R lift springs for the new G?
Also, can you comment more on the Renntech tune? Noticeably more acceleration? Any increase in lag?
Thank you in advance!

There are several other forum posts on this topic, but briefly, 275/55R20 tires fit without any interference problems. This tire is about 14mm/0.54" larger in radius that leads to about 3% error in your speedometer and odometer (e.g., you're speed will be about 67 mph when the speedometer reads 65, and your mileage at 10,000 will be about 10,300. See the website https://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp for a visual comparison on all dimensional specs.
