Methods 17" Questions!!!

[PCDan]

Not sure if those words have ever left their mouths, but Raptor lore dating back to 2010 is that Fox tested and tuned the shocks on mid perch but DOT regulations limit the height of the Raptor from the factory.

And then there's this...
They can't come right out and say it, but they certainly don't make it sound like a bad idea. We've been reading between the lines for almost 4 years now!

They can't give any recommendation, that means they recommend it. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

I went directly to the FOX people we know from racing bikes… think about it, why are there 3 perch settings to begin with .. certainly NOT because FOX doesn't recommend it, its a Ford thing.

Where did you get your wheels? They should have the lugs.

unfortunately they came without them, i bought 5 wheels, and i asked the guy at the shop if the old bolts would fit, he said yes they would, very stupid of me to have swallowed that since stock bolts are nickel and the new wheel needs black bolts AND of a totally different size and shape. To be fair to the guy he looked around every where and located them as well as the nut, and gave them to me for free! i saw them being sold separately on Texasmotorworks (set for 55usd) so i figured that they must be selling them separately!!!
im glad this is over, now thinking of 35" tires, but not sure if the difference is noticeable, since stock 315 is almost 34" point something!!!!!!

Thanks. Wheels are wider than stock, 34mm (1.33 inches) wider on each side to be exact. (8.5 in wide wheel with 0" offset = 1.33 inches wider than stock) And the Toyo MTs make it look even wider IMO, even though they should only be .1 inches wider than stock tire.

You're in UAE? The only 35 available locally is the Cooper Discovery and the Yokahama all terrain.
