Method 305 NV/Toyo OC RT Trail

[Waterman]

Bigger is better! I'd like to run 37s, but hard to do on Chevys with out 8 to 10 inch lift.

Would you mind taking some measurements from the ground to the top of your wheels wells front and rear?

I can’t understand how mine is measuring a 1/4” more in the front if it’s stock. Don’t see how/why to add a level kit to a truck that’s already past level.

41.25" in rear and 40.5" in front, so about 3/4 inch. It's not perfectly level, but doesn't look like it has a rake.

When you drive, I think the rear squats some and it's mostly level. When I really get on the throttle, it'll squat the rear end. Also squats alot towing even light loads.

You should be able to look at the UCAs and see if there are aftermarket parts.

I’m at 41.25 in front and 41” in rear with a 275/70/18. I guess this must be stock?

Yeah, I think that sounds normal or close to it. Could be just some variability in production tolerances between trucks. Used trucks may sit lower as suspension is older. Check to make sure shocks aren't leaking.

Just installed these Method 305 NV wheels and wrapped them in Toyo Open Country RT Trail tires.

Thank you for this post!
I just put this exact same setup on my 2020 2500 2wd. The truck is stock with 42k miles.
On the 2500, absolutely zero cutting is required with the NV305HD 18” wheels and Nexen 295/70R18 ATX tires.
No rubbing and all the tight spots have at least 1” clearance.
I added a before pic too. The look of those factory 17” wheels just sucked. Total transformation!

Looks great, really changed the look of that truck. Nice wheels and tires always make the truck!
