She’s lifted 2 inches using the kit I’ve made. It’s just a prototype, but so far I’ve driven 200 miles and everything seems to work perfectly.
For the front, I used a strut spacer and shorten the lift link by 10mm to achieve this height. The driver side’s CV axle is a lot shorter than passenger side, but it’s still sitting in a nice angle even at full droop.
For the rear I used a combination of Bilstein 4600(B6, factory Mercedes rear shock is b4), custom top head mount, air spring spacers, and lengthen the level link by 10mm.
The ride quality is overall mostly unchanged, since the air bag is pressurized to the factory level. However the rear have the most improvement. The new rear shocks feel about 10% stiffer than the original shocks, and when handling bigger bumps, it’s a lot more controlled and very little reschedule hopping after the initial dampening.
Where did you source the adjustable links? I'd get a set just to replace the cheap plastic ones with hopelessly corroded sockets that don't rotate easily on the ***** anymore; can't imagine that's doing my sensors any good.
