Brabus chopped off the lower back 1/2 of of the SUV’s cab to make room for a truck bed, however now no longer after stretching the automobile through 27-inches to offer extra area withinside the rear quarters. Brabus lifted the whole factor and gave it the front and rear portal axles with a 1/2 of-shaft to provide higher floor clearance, now at 19.1-inches from a inventory G63’s 8.8-inches.
