🔥FIRST RAPTOR MOD ! METHOD drop a brand new color ? Will the 35’s fit ?💀

[@TyFenwick]

I have bought $$$ methods for over 12 years. I run them on every vehicle I own because nothing compares. The crew at Method AUS wanted to jump on board with the raptor build and sponsored this setup.

Exhaust not melting the spare?

[@OshoLee]

what happened with the lift kit?

[@c.quinny]

Hey mate, I'm having some dramas with my lifted raptor and I've done a heap of research trying to correct it. Thought I'd share my findings before you make the same mistakes I did. A spring lift with a revalve doesn't change the open or closed length of a shock, it just changes where the shock sits in its travel at ride height. The problem with a spring lift and revalve is we've essentially lost 2 inches of down travel from the increased ride height. This causes all kinds of issues with wheel lifting and has caused me some issues offroad. For example, take a look at rock buggies. They run at full compression, because this allows them 100% droop. An ideal situation is to have stock ride height, to keep shock travel around 50% up and 50% down but use big tyres to increase clearance. But I want the lift so I can keep my clearance for my big tyres. On the Raptors I actually believe it's better to do a strut spacer lift, as this means you're increasing the overall strut length and keeping your bypass shocks in the right zone. If you have a bumper/lights/winch you need to consider spring rates. Caloffroad does a stock height, increased load spring that would suit if you're running bars. If you do go the strut spacer, you will find that there is another problem that will need to be solved. With the increased droop, the factory UCA will start hitting the coil, potentially damaging the coils and the arms. I contacted GOAT offroad and they've got a new billet arm set for the gen1 that is designed for far more clearance in this area. I believe there are already a few billet options for the G2. Goodluck. Wheels look sick btw

[@luizmkv6963]

I run snake racing 10mm strut spacers on my last gen without issues. Honestly no difference from stock on road or hard off roading. It gave me a 25mm lift. Planning to do the same on my 2023. I'll see how this comes out

[@nihontoman]

thanks for sharing your experience. I'm thinking about fitting a slightly bigger 295/70 r17 tires on the stock wheels. do you think I'll need any clearancing? I'd rather not f around with lifting and revalving and such. thanks in advance !

[@jamesjannell8706]

Nice build. The wheels are beautiful. Looking forward to ford building this truck here in US. And when we might see suspension companies offering

[@bavan]

Wow, this video was awesome. I'm loving the blue color on the wheels and the way it ties in with the dash. The 35s look perfect and I'm excited to hear when the lift kit is available. Great work Ty!

Look awsome mate, different is always great. I have a very similar style rim in matt bronze, not that unique but different enough. As iam sure you know suspension lift doesn't really help with bigger tyres. Number plate suits the typical Ranger driver!

On my 1St Gen - 2020.75 Ranger Raptor I have been running 5x Yokohama G005 XMT's 35"x12.5"R20" on a KMC Rim with a P38 offset and I only needed to remove front mudflaps when I didn't upgrade my front springs as I had fitted a Steel Bull Bar and 12000lb Winch (total about 106kg), when I uprated my springs to suit the weight I was able to return the mudflaps just needed a minor alignment check, I have also got a set of 17" Black Rhino rims with P40 offset and better load rating than the standard issued rims, currently still using the factory tyres till they run through, I can then go between 32" or to the full size 35" an still be legal (under the flare lip edges).

Would wheel spacers be needed for stock rims running 315/70R17? Or the tire size would not allow the rub? I’d like to keep that stock rims if I can, but would get new wheels if needed. Don’t really want to use wheel spacers and plan to get the perch collars. Thank you

[@TyFenwick]

No you shouldn’t need wheel spacers, highly recommend to never fit them. 315/70R17 you shouldn’t need to mod anything to fit. Perch collars will level up the front nice, we have one set left on our website.

If you go offroad and do hard tracks, 35s definitely help ground clearance. Not to mention how much smoother the ride is on corrugations. If you don't ever go offroad, yes I agree with you.
