KW Suspension HLS2 Front Axle Hydraulic Lift Kit 45mm for Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series R230 – Nose/Bumper Lift, Splitter Saver, Ground Clearance Assist, Front-End Lifter – Part 19225642

Hydraulic front-end lift for SL Black Series practicality and protection

Protect your front bumper, splitter and undertray and enjoy stress-free access to steep driveways, multi-storey car parks, ramps and speed humps. This KW HLS 2 hydraulic height assist raises the front of the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series by up to 45 mm at the press of a button, keeping your R230 aero safe while preserving sharp handling, steering feel and ride quality. It integrates neatly with factory suspension or alongside KW coilover suspension for an OEM-level solution that looks and feels factory.

We run KW hydraulic lift systems on our own builds and many customer cars. The actuation is fast, quiet and dependable, and our clients consistently report how much more usable their low AMG becomes on real British roads with kerbs, aggressive ramps and rough surfaces. If you are searching for a nose lift, front end raiser, splitter saver, driveway ramp clearance kit or a hydraulic alternative to air cup lifts for the R230 Black Series, this is the proven answer.
