What extended length are your front shocks and were you forklift/ramp flexing? I imagine your setup may not allow enough droop to shift the axle alot. This is where mine got into some heavy rubbing on passenger front.I did full flex this morning, up against the bump stops. I didn't rub anywhere. Maybe luck of the draw? Who knows?
37's and 2.5" spacer lift. Maybe some that are using spring lifts aren't getting the lift they are assuming??
That third shot is perfectHere is my contribution. 2020 JLUR on Method MR702s with 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers. First picture is with no lift, others are a Mopar 2" lift with @Clayton Off Road track bars and control arms.
There will be many more off-road pictures soon. The Clayton Trackbars make a huge difference with or without a lift.That third shot is perfect
haha. sooo... I thought the same thing. I actually confirmed with northridge that the ring itself was not removeable. So weird... but, I kind of wanted to replace the stainless bolts with gold grade 8 bolts. I know, just for looks. but I think it looks better.
Well that is a little different thaN just replacing them because they got damaged. Gold would look good and if you don’t off-road hard and scrape them up its not an issue
I do have the bronze version but mine are not the real beadlocks.
Hey! Love your set up! Which model Methods are these? What are the dimensions you decided upon? I'm on the mad wheel hunt now and these would be killer on my rig. Thanks!My contributions
Tough to tell based on a pic...but it looks like 17x9 with 4.5 backspacing on 37" Toyo MT's. A 17x9 wheel with 4.5 backspacing pushes the tire 1/2" further away from the body for 1/2" more inner clearance vs. the 17x8.5 with 4.75 backspacing. I'd definitely go with the 17x9 for clearance for bigger flex wheelin. That extra 1/2" of inner clearance makes a difference flexing 37s.Is there any way to visually tell the difference between a Method 312 that is 17x9 and one that is 17x8.5?
What does this look like?
Thanks! I think I found a pic of the 17x8.5 on a gladiator and I don’t think they concave as much. So I think you’re right, I think those are 17x9. I was really worried about stuff sticking out too much. Looks, flicking crap on the side, scrub radius.... I just read your build thread. And like you stated there, MC and RK both recommend 4.5 backspacing or less. I fee like that is the “standard”. I don’t know. I also talked to someone on Instagram that has the same 17x8.5 and 4.75 that you do and they wish they had less backspace. Hmmm.Tough to tell based on a pic...but it looks like 17x9 with 4.5 backspacing on 37" Toyo MT's.
