How do I get it low like this?

So I decided to install Alloygators on my ML350 as my wife drives it more than I do and a lot of times she damages the rims so after getting it repaired countless amount of times I decided to give these contraption a chance and it already saved my rims this morning. They do however are very hard to install and you need a lot of muscle power to hit those rims to get them seated properly.

Somehow when I was installing the wheels back on the truck the airbags decided to deflate itself and I got this hammer down ML in front of me and boy my jaw dropped a little and wished I can lower the ML like that in a push of a button.

The moment I pressed the start button the pumps started up and raised the car back to normal height but I can't stop thinking about that look and now I want to know if those aftermarket lowering control arms will achieve this without damaging anything.








This shot is missing a left wheel.

H&R makes a kit that allows you to lower the suspension lower than stock. After that you have to get some Adjustable links .

if you have air suspension you can change the links to lower it or get a lowering module, or if you dont have air suspension H&R has lowering springs
