Just curious how you can be slightly below mid-perch?
Will Method 0mm offset wheels rub?

Fox 3.0", preload all the way up to compensate for sacked rear leaf springs.
As soon as the replacements ship ill be back above mid perch level

Ok that makes sense. I didn't know that the 3.0 shock would change the ride height compared to stock. Are your new leafs heavier duty?

The 3.0 have a preload ring that is adjustable so you can raise / lower the front and I turn stiffen / soften the ride via pre-load.
I went with national HD replacements for the standards. Part or the initial run that have had issues.
They have remedied the problem but I am erring on the side of caution so they don't sack out again

Just to be clear the spring rate on any of the 3.0s does not change if you raise or lower the height therefore technically the ride does not get any stiffer or softer. The preload changes which effects how the spring rebounds. I'm sure that's what you meant but I thought I'd clarify for the sake of accuracy.
Whether or not you depart from the ride zone valving significantly when adjusting the height could effect the ride. Or maybe the angle of your arms changing the way they react as levers on the shock. How to the Fox's react to height changes seat of the pants?

I'll let you know bird once I get them adjusted
So you go off road and have no rubbing issues at full articulation or after a jump? That is important. Driving around town is no issue...

Yes that is correct. No rubbing off road. Was an old post, upgraded to 3.0 Icons and Camburg LCA /UCA. So it's quite different now.
Ya. I just bought the 2017 Raptor and put the methods on. Going off roading this weekend and don't want to rip my fenders off. The methods stick out a little bit (about 1.5"), so I hope there are no issues.
So you jump and get those wheels deep under the fender with no issues at all?
