Level kit?

[UNifc6pF]

Did you have to add backspacers?

@Hibiki54 already gave you a lot of good info.

I have the Method704 HD’s which CJC had a hand in developing. They are 17x9 18mm offset, which gives 5.75in backpacing. I’ve always like the tools and calcultors at tiresize.com they have one to convert offset and backspacing - https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/

I ran 37x12.15x17 with MT Baja Boss MT on the factory headlock wheels for a while. I loved that look much better than my current. But I would rub on control at full lock, which I need hit a lot since this truck is my daily driver. I look at putting wheel spacers on it, but decided I wanted a bit wider wheel also.

The Method 704HDs w/ Nitto Ridge (or Recon, can’t remember) Grappler rubbed on the trim in the back of the wheel well, so much it knocked it off (but only on driver side). I put the Carlie backcountry lift on the truck, and so it should clear it now, but I haven’t replaced the part yet.

My next set of rubber will likely be the new Toyo’s OpenCountry R/T (iirc).

From all my research, if you get a good set of wheel spacers you will have no problems. Focus on hubcentric ones like BORA

Maybe someone can help me understand why you want to spend all of that money to have less power?

Looks great! Looking at the Thuren site and planning mine... they offer stock PW height rear or 1" lower ... did you do the 1/2" front and 1" lower rear to get that stance?

Mine measures right around 1.25" rake ... so I don't want to do the 1.5" and end up nose high... prefer to have 1/2" to 3/4" rake if I can nail it in that range and yours looks to be around that and my plan is currently just swap in the 1/2" Thuren front.

Yes. Mine is pretty much dead even front to back. No rake. After taking measurements and talking to Thuren that’s why I went w .5” up front and 1” rear.

How much did the Thuren kit set you back?

How does a leveling kit affect the drop when towing? I want to be level-er but don't want to look like I have a saggy diaper

I would recommend staying with 17s and not going to 18s unless you have a good reason to switch. 17 has better tire options IMHO
