Can I lift my ML

I'm putting together a lift for my G, and it got me thinking, can I lift my ML?

Whatever I'd do, it wouldn't be as aggressive as the G lift, but I was thinking a 2" spring lift plus 2" taller tires would look good. Has anyone here ever lifted their ML and if so, how did it go?

You'll prolly get flamed for even asking LOL

Personally, I think it'd be cool. Different from the 300,000+ other ML's/GL's out there. Might want to find longer-travel shocks though. I can see them getting damaged from over-extension. Been there & done that.

If you find stuff to lift an ML please post it, I think that would be cool, I would like to lift 1/2" in lower mode (air ride system) but think it will be lots of trouble with the air ride, I take mine of road on two track often and the speed limit with the rising mode is a PIA

Im sure there is a way to override the computer that controls the airbags so as to engage "high" whenever you want. I'm not sure if it's good to keep the airbags in "high" all the time though. It might be. You'd have to do a bit of research.
