Lifting an '08 ML320

I'm in the VFD/EMS and I'd like to lift the truck just an inch or so. I know this probably sounds stupid, but some of the roads are a little hinky and I think the truck is a little low.
what would be the easiest and cheapest way to go without compromiseing handleing and safety. Or is it even smart to do????

TIA Herb

Just an FYI, you should post in the 164 forum (2006-2008) ML's, this is the 163 forum (1998-2005) ML's. Just my 2 cents.

Is it possible on an 02 ML500? I am interested for the same reason I use the truck for the fire department and a little extra clearance would be great.

For all your ML off-road information needs

Check out Wolfgang's ML website. It has more information on lifted MLs, tires, suspension then anything else out there. There's a lot of content so check out all of his categories on the left side of the homepage.
