Yes, that’s why custom knuckles would be needed. An integrated portal axle would give about 150mm of lift, the bigger tyres would give a further 100-150mm then the body lift another 50-100mm. Air suspension can then give about 200mm of functional height range.From what I understand the motor casings are the same with or without casts. Those steering knuckles are the main reason you can't put larger tyres on.
Withthe lift kit the limiting factor will be CV joint angle on the driveshafys and how much wear you think is acceptable.
Starting with a nominal 150mm of ground clearance, the above mods would give at minimum 500mm of clearance, all keeping those shafys in the same orientation.
Another Question to the crowd. Would there be any issues running the motors backwards? Would a simple switch of polarity cause mechanical issues for the gearbox?
