Methods and bottom perch??

[Netix]

I got some -6mm 8.5 wide beadlock rims coming in soon.
Used to break axles all the time on stock suspension top perch with my -1mm rims but now that i have kings running half a inch lower than top perch i took my truck trail riding this weekend hard and i mean hard. 4wd, 50kmph going through 2-3 feet of snow into 2 foot pools of mud frozen over by a good 2 inches of ice. No problems now, now im confident all the wheel hub:cv probles are from top perch when running your truck hard

And I think that is part of the issue.. Majority of the Raptor are out west (dry states) and do not run hard in muck and mud. Either that we are the only crazy mfers mudding in 50k trucks.. Lol

That half inch lower than top really made a diff in the cv inner boot angles, they dont bind anymorr even under full steering in 4wd with throttle.

Well that mekes it easy for me as well: Method D2s 0 offsett Nitto Trails 35s" Mid Perch and carry on...

For those who have gone to Method Double Standards what is your recommendation for the wheel? 2011 Stock Perch. I see 0 is the choice for offset.

I have method standards at a 0mm offset with 37" toyos on top perch and I haven't had any problems at all with cv axles and boots but that could be because I have the RPG race line 1.5 UCA's. I noticed that once I put the UCA's on it settled down about a half an inch because of the bearings instead of the polyurethane bushings that could have made it sit up and not have that free play.

The funny thing is Double standard 17" only comes in 0mm offset.
Method Truck Beadlock comes only in -12mm offset, was wondering why nobody runs those. lol
