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.

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

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!

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

Sick rims they look hot! 🔥 It would have been mad if you did a cinematic of the rim honestly

Have the same rims with 35s on my bronco Wildtrak … will be putting on the Ranger Raptor once it arrives … awesome to hear that there’s no mods needed!!!!!!

Looks great 👍🏼 and thanks for the bead pour in method, didn’t know about that. I Keep loosing the weights on the rims despite attaching them with super glue.

Awesome vid, thanks for sharing. I’m looking forward to more mod vids to come. I’ve got a white raptor arriving at the end of the month. Was planning on black methods to complete the black/white look. Probably won’t go as big as you though! But well done on having a go at something different. They look great!

Awesome beast , i drive my Navara V6 tuned to 300BHP with toyo open underneeth . Best tyre ever and the V6 a real animal . But this is another leage ❤❤❤ Eddy from Belgium

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!

Looks great!! Just ordered my 2024.

Looks Siiiick Bro! Smooth As!

That color is fully sick

With the lift will look awesome, thanks

looks good, cool to see it can take a 35!

Slick I like it, when can it come to Zimbabwe 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Looks bloody unreal Ty, Well done. Im waiting for the lift. My BT rubs and it kills me. How bad is the rubbing with the 35s your running? Maybe you can twist my rubber arm haha

Really like the setup 🤘🏻

You can fit a 0 offset 37 with a sawzall and a hammer.

That looks fucken sickkk....they really got that design down pat looks awsome man congrats on the new wheels...

love it man looks mad!!!!!i got the white raptor great advice..cant wait to see your mods.,

It would be interesting to see a braking distance test in dry condition, if you have a draggy box. The Methods look awesome, I would love those on my blue raptor

Id love to see method do some orange anodised wheel studs in a black/black wheel or even orange as the main part of the wheel. Would look sick and would matvh the orange trim bits

Beautiful wheels, will check out method wheels if they ever release the RR in the states (hopefully this year soon).

Mate , Ty Fenwick , new raptor method race wheels info on mikes shock shop get this channel to number 1 👌👌👌👌

Wheels & tyres looking good, a lift would suit

Those wheels are sweet! Would like to know if they work with the standard 33" wheels, or what is the correct wheel to order for the standard size wheels? Thanks for the vid, appreciate.

Hi Ty! The offset is 25 mm each wheel, isnt it? Overall width of Raptor increases 50mm? Great job! i think yours is the most beautiful Raptor out there.

What were the specs to the 315/70R/18?????? Love your stuff, bro. I’ll meet you at the servo once and you were a pleasure to talk to.

Had muddies on mi ranger wasint really feeling them hated the noise on them so changed to rims so much better no noise with the rims but im thinking of upgrading my tires to 35s

Tbh if the tyres don't fit at stock height, a lift won't help. The wheel is going to follow the same path when you take it off-road. Easiest to just rip out the strut and see where everything hits through the full travel

Mate those rims are sick, too video as usual, so happy for ya mate, 3/6 for my delivery, meteor grey cannot wait

Sick video! Tossing up between these and machined face for my silver raptor. Reckon they’d pop on the silver like they do the black?

sweet set up

I got 33 on 0 offset with v8 coyote conversion mustang tuned it a man killer my dude

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).

Keen to know more about this lift kit and man that back window looks vulnerable. I’m sure they could of included the best roll bar of the lineup for the money. It just looks bare.

Love the new wheels!!

Looks amazing! I'm looking at some 9"wide wheels would they need to be +30 or +20 for the same fitment as your 8.5 at +25. Cheers

Deffo looks the mutts nuts Ty!

That is so LIT 🔥🔥bro

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

UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS PLEAAAAAAAAAASE NEED TO SEE MORE RANGER RAPTORS MODS

Reminds me of the avus blue on the old M3 E90 model looks sick!

Looks mint mate!! Just wondering if you know will you be able to do a 4inch lift in these?

Love it bro!

Hey Ty! Just wondering if there’s any poke outside the guards with this setup and how much? Cheers!

Im now getting the exact same size methods as yours in bronze, everything's saying that the flush caps don't work on this wheel yet yours does?

Whats the reliability and servicing costs like on he Raptor? Are you satisfied with the truck? Cheers.

Hey Ty Have you re fitted the mudflaps since? Just fitted 18x9 +20 35x12.5R18 Toyo RT to my Raptor. Took them off and no rubbing (unsure about compression) however I'm worried about the front doors getting peppered with gravel etc with no mudflaps.

Loose the Raptor sticker off the side or have one made the same colour as the wheel;)

Looks awesome are the tires rubbing under full compression and if so how did you manage to cure that

What lift is best with the Ranger Raptor, and what needs to be done to retain much of the existing suspension with the Fox shocks?

Awesome colour, I was thinking OH NO I hope he hasn't gone for Red and make it look like a cupcake 🤣🤣, what about with the wrap, would matching blue show up on the black ?, or bronze ?

They look 👀 great

Hi Ty, great content, honesty and always full of details, we love your videos. Have a question please. Code Orange Raptor finally arrives into Brisbane 20th June. I want to fit the Method 312’s, however only plus 18 available, no plus 25. Can you give me some advice on best tyre fit please? Will lift truck once Mikes has the lift design finalised, bet you hear that question too often, thanks Steve

Interested in the lift, would it also increase the GVM? With the tyres, if already two inches bigger and getting a lift, will that make it no longer legal height?

7 months in are you still stoked with wheel pick? I am struggling to pick a wheel combo for my black raptor

another great video bro thx

Trying find out to get Hennessey to come Australia with supercharger wat a root

Looks mint

Fully Sick

Any update on the lift kit you’re looking at adding? Would love to see a video on this!

Mint video mate are these 8.5 wide?

How many kilometres would you expect to get out of the petrol engines on a raptor ? I’ve been diesel for as long as I can remember lol

I just want to know if I can put those wheels on the stock tyres? I'm clueless!

Ended up with double black 305s on mine. Just wish method had less aggressive offsets for the raptors, or wish Ford releases them with a better offset standard, +55 stock is a nightmare

Awesome wheels.....:)

So, needs trimming, noisier, slower, uses more fuel, but "sick".? Hmmmm... Benefits? I'm totally up for swapping the OEM's and BFG's, but not sure I would change to 35's. The Method's do look nice though...

Hey mate, do you notice extra noise/vibration when using 4A instead of 2H. Normal driving. Cheers mate

How did you trip the inner guard? Dremel?

Aye and u got same hat az me dam are we brothers from another mother?

What do you think of shock spacers to raise the front without affecting the shock action itself??

How do the balancing beads go with the pressure sensors? Do they affect it at all? Tyre shops hesitant to put the beads in for that reason

Hi Ty, Your raptor looks amazing! I'm getting the same method wheels as yours in bronze in nz but the guys that are importing them for me and the method site say that the flush caps don't work with them on gen2 raptor ranger. Could you please get the product code as I'm after the same as yours, bronze topographical. Thanks!

What are you going to put on the tray? Ute master load lid?

Can't understand why such small front brakes. Would expect vig disc with 6 pot callipers.

Do you need to regear at all?

i understand the number plate. but would be much more fitting on a bronco raptor ;)

I am running 305/65’s on mine without any issue. Saying that I ordered 35x12.5 Toyo RT’s yesterday as we always want bigger! 😂 I also ordered 40mm lift springs for the front as a temporary measure until the full kits come out, hopefully no issues with the live valves!

took you what 3 weeks? XD taken me 6months to save for just the 35s

How do you find the toyo mt's on wet roads? I currently have yokohama geolander mt's and they are a bit slippery. Wondering if MT baja boss at?

Nice

What was the upgrade cost?

Grouse mate them rims

Hey bro, can you add some caster to push the wheel forward?

Do the tires make a difference to your Speedo ?

Why do you put sand in tires?

Looks like 90s mags

What's your fuel usage like?

How did you move the antenna to the roof?

Have you heard much about Toyo R/T?

I wish wheel manufacturers would move away from the fake beadlock look especially with gold coloured bolt heads, there’s only a handful of wheels I like but not available in a offset compatible😕. The blue centre on those Methods looks nice though, and the Toppo centre caps a nice touch.

What are the springs

Would 37s fit

Gen 1 > Gen 2 Ranger Raptor

Are they bead grip wheels?

Nice rims but unless you’re off-road 90% of the time those tyres will be a disaster. Why you young blokes want these stupid chunky tyres are beyond me . They are dangerous in wet conditions, after you have about 10,000 Ks on them they will be all over the road with heal and toe wear. The noise that they make will drive you crazy. I have fitted the exact opposite an put safer road tyres on. Better fuel economy and safety in the wet. Massive reduction in road noise. Have kept my original tyres for use when I go bush. Most of the time I’m on the beach and road tyres are much better on sand than terrain tyres. Look at the tyres on the park ranger vehicles on the beach. All road tyres. If you think I’m full of shit I owned and operated one of the biggest tyre stores in Australia for 11 years

just plain avoid imitation beadlocks, then no need for the shitty beads... old school weights on the wheels and never an issue

Or u just noticed that method wheels are being added to new vehicles because they are worth it.
