G-wagen suspension springs distributed
by EXTREM-Motorsport

Caused of the very different weight's of all the engine and equipment types of the G-wagen, it seemed to be necessary to design two different sets of the suspension springs.
Additionaly there is a set of trimpackers for the front axle which gives 18mm extra lift. (also for o/e springs)
Longered springs sometimes perform a "bulky" design during their life.
This is not a negative influence to your comfort or safety!

On some models there is a metal bottom on the down end of the front limiting rubber.
We recommend to remove them to avoid inconvenient noises.
On vehicles with less space between oilpan and axle tube or housing it's recommended to support them with washers or similar material.
If you look at the rear spring, you will see that a few turns have contact.
This is standard and allows more axle travel.
O/E springs from Mercedes got some rubber isolation on their ends to avoid noise.
We quit that intentional, cause in this area the O/E springs crack very often.
Sometimes some noise with our springs will be heard on off-road tracks or back country roads. This noise is without hesitation!

An important thing about the shafts:
Before installation you should check them for damage!
Otherwise vibrations from driveline will appear and can cause damage and expensive repair.
For short 463 series never install heavy springs in the rear without heavy load or special rear drive shaft!
The 460 can be driven with average load of  eg. rear seat, spare wheel, toolbox, trailer hitch or other things.
In every installation you should shorten your time between two grease jobs!

During our intense road testing the shocks showed an sufficient stroke.
You can handle our springs with your O/E shocks.
Mercedes offers also a "heavy duty" package with SACHS-shocks.
These and the BILSTEIN Off-Road-Set (the best from our point of view) will improve your onroad comfort and off-road performance.

Off-road testing showed that a high springrate is an advantage cause wheels do not dig in quite easy (especially on loose ground like sand or gravel).
Maybe you had to use the diff-locks more often on an light vehicle.
If you want to use longer shocks for more axle travel, please check brake lines and the hydraulic-hoses for the differential locks closely!
In every case the driver should carefully check out his vehicles new possibilities.
(On and Off road)

Warning!
This suspension has been modified to improve off-road performance.
As a result this vehicle may handle differently than factory equipped vehicles.
Extreme care must be used to prevent loss of control or rollover during sharp turn or abrupt maneuvers.
Failure to drive this vehicle safely may result in serious injury or death.
Do not drive your vehilce unless you are familar with its unique handling characteristics, and are confident of your ability to maintain control under all driving conditions.
Consult the instructions accompanying this product and the vehicles owner's manual for additional product safety warning.
Wear your seat belts all the time.

EXTREM spring sets will on special notice, come with an German "TÜV" certificate to help you with the DOT if necessary.
The change of springs is similar to original equipment.
