RAW 4x4 Heavy-Duty Suspension Lift Kit – Mercedes-Benz X-Class (2018–2020)

RAW 4x4 Heavy-Duty Suspension Lift Kit – Mercedes-Benz X-Class (2018–2020)

Transform your premium bakkie’s off-road load capacity and highway stability with the commercial truck-tough RAW 4x4 Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for the Mercedes-Benz X-Class (2018–2020), covering X220d, X250d, and the flagship V6 X350d models. Born from a legacy of heavy commercial vehicle engineering by Powerdown, this vehicle-specific all-coil lift kit replaces the soft factory components to provide up to 45mm of ground clearance — carefully engineered to prevent excessive wear on the independent front double-wishbone setup and constant-velocity axles.

Although the X-Class shares its basic mid-size platform with the Nissan Navara NP300, it features a significantly wider track, unique factory kinematics, and heavy-duty chassis reinforcements — requiring this dedicated vehicle-specific kit. Whether you’re packing a Quick Pitch Quick-en-Suite Box Unit, integrated drawer systems, or a hardtop canopy layout, the upgraded front coils and RC-MBX18-R2 Constant-Load Rear Springs stop rear-end sag dead in its tracks. Equipped with massive-bore Nitro Max shocks with low-friction multi-lip seal packages, this kit completely eradicates dampening fade over hours of brutal corrugated gravel bush tracks.
