Lift?

I drive a 2017 GLC300 and was wondering if anyone has ever successfully lifted by ~2"

There are kits for GLA and other series but I can't find much of anything for the GLC other than Spaccer spacer kits
I live in the PNW and want to have more clearance and the option to put on some bigger more aggressive tires for logging roads and getting out to trailheads.

I actually used the TEMA4X4 30mm lift kit on my 2016 GLC300. You do need to make sure that you get the rear shock spacers as well, as some kits don’t come with those and they allow for more droop when at max articulation. I did have to cut the rear shock spacers a bit with a reciprocating saw to make them fit. I’ve definitely noticed that it sits higher, with very similar ride and handling characteristics. From what I’ve measured, I get about 8.5” of clearance now, which is a good improvement from stock at 6.5”. Next step is 245/60R18 all terrains; probably going with Nitto Nomad Grapplers.
