I’m a Nimrod so I’m going by seat of the pants not real numbers.
The 37” tires with no rubbing is part of the deal. In Baja where a lot of the terrain sees 40” tires 37’s are a big step up from 35’s and the Geisers got that for me.

The Geisers feel stiffer especially on low speed stuff like speed bumps in a parking lot.

At speed they seem to work amazing, at least to me. They soak stuff up that blows my mind. The faster I go the better they work, of course that’s up to a point and I’m not talking about 3 foot whoops.
It is a big step up from my Gen 1.

The Geisers with +2 Deaver’s and the stock 3” Fox shocks on 37” BFG’s with 22 pounds of air works amazing. Even if I had an extra $5500.00 I doubt I’d get the aftermarket Fox shocks.

I’ve also owned an Alumicraft 4 seater and my 2017 raptor is nowhere near as fast on the rough stuff (not even close) but it’s by far my favorite for off-roading. I love the set up I have right now. Yes the butt is a hair low with +2’s but I grew up watching Mickey Thompson Stadium racing and to me that’s how an Offroad Truck is supposed to look. I’m old what can I say? To each his own, you might not choose to go this route but man oh man is she fun to me.

Feel free to call Baja HQ and ask them questions about it. They’d love to help you.

PS. Be sure to ask them about winning the Baja 1000 in Trophy Truck on Saturday!

What offset wheels are you running?

 

[Nimrod]

I believe I have an offset of 0/4.75 on a 17” method rim
I’ve read that stock is 0/5.00 on a 17” rim so the method seems to be a quarter inch different but I pretty much told Baja HQ I like these rims and I don’t want them to rub and they ordered the rims so I’m not positive. From the method website I believe that’s the offset I have.

I don’t know that stuff.
what stuff?
what you just said.
How could that be?
They told me to drive and I could drive so I got in and drove.
I’m an idiot, I don’t have the lingo.

I asked the guys at Baja HQ about the Eibachs yesterday and they said they “heard” that Eibach redesigned them and that they’re Raptor spring is supposedly better now.

Like I said, do your research.

Not on topic but...Huge congrats to Cameron and the entire Team for a job well down!

For those that don't know, Cameron is an Off Road Monster on 2 wheels or 4...

To calculate how far a wheel sticks out further than factory using the offset, you need to know the width of the wheel. All 17x8.5 Methods have a 0mm offset. The factory wheel are 17x8.5 and have a +34mm offset. The difference between two wheels with the same width, is the difference of the offset. The smaller the offset, the further they stick out.

In the case of a 17x8.5 Method vs the factory wheels, there is a 34 mm difference or +1.33 inches. The Methods stick out 1.33" further than the factory wheels.

With that being said.... Nimrod has 0 offset methods and most likely 8.5 width? I’m hoping my methods with 37” tires will not rub, I’ll have Geiser springs and +3 deavers.

To Nimrod:
My concern with 37" tires is rubbing as I plan on using 100% of the travel on my truck, but when I was looking at Methods (they do look awesome!) all I found was backspacing not even close to our stock wheels...HOWEVER maybe they do some custom off-sets in batches for some clients...
