How do the Methods take to jumping? When you tuck the front end do the tires hit the fenders?


Haven't made it that far as these were just installed today, but everything I have seen makes me think that even at 0 offset with stock BFGs and mid perch it shouldn't be an issue.

I don't know about him but when I turn into my driveway at certain speeds it rubs on the back of my wheel well so I'm a little nervous about what it will do over jumps and off road. I'm running Toyo M/T's with my Method's though.

I'm on mid-perch, methods, and stock BFGs... stuffed them at TRR and popped out the top four clips on both fender flares and pushed the drivers side up into the a-pillar and cracked it. But, this is not your typical result, I was flogging it pretty good.

Put my Roll-X bed cover on! Still need to adjust it here and there, but overall looks good. One of the rails came bent from factory. I just straightened it out and it looks fine. I sent Morrie an e-mail, so hopefully they'll send me a new rail.

Need to install the BakBox tonight. Little concerned about it since I've read horrible stories about it falling out and not being very good. We'll see.

Well I bought the custom SVT center-caps for some Method NV 305's and I was waiting for the caps to arrive before actually buying the wheels. But now I think I will wait on the wheels...

I'm thinking sell the center caps and use the $900-$1000 I would have spent on wheels/caps for some Deaver +2 leafs to compliment the Geiser Bros progressive springs I am waiting for...

That is some admirable restraint...but, why not have it all!

I already paid for them and I'm just waiting for them to arrive...

I don't want to take a chance on doing any damage to my fenders/liners with the NV 305's so I'll keep the stock wheels for now...

The Methods offset doesn't play well with fenders/liners so I'd rather take the money I'd spend on them and put them towards a functional upgrade like the Deaver +2 leafs.

The WSI HD leafs was one of the best mods I have done to my truck ride wise. The rear is planted now and feels much better. I think that would be a wise choice given your scenario.
