I've not seen a kit, have you Googled?

If you're going for less than a few inches (2-3"), the front end should be easy if the torsion bar keys have adjusters. Check under the middle of your truck and see if there are adjustment bolts at the end of your bars. If so, crank 'em a few turns for a few inches. For the rear, have some longer springs made or sourced through a local spring shop. The same shop could also help fabricate modified keys if the 163 doesn't have adjusters. follow there advise for shocks too. Make sure to get an alignment afterwards.

I can't remember now, but I think the Jurassic Park movie M's had nice 35" tires mounted underneath. They're probably long gone from Universal Park but you could probably just rent the movie and single frame through to get an idea.

Good Luck!

In addition to what Magic posted... There are several lift kits available for the ML, from Stardust, ORC, and Extrem. More info on this page:

Nowhere that I know of. Just have them shipped to you. The weight is only 2 kg or so.
