they’ve been fine for what I use the truck for. I will admit the ride is much more floaty with the 37s. To be expected I guess with such a large vehicle.

Truck looks great man!! I'm currently debating on the NV 305 like you have OR the 20x10 NV 605 - really like the 605 but not sure if they will fit with a 2.5'' leveling kit and 37''s

part of me wishes I would’ve gone with a 295/65 as the speedo being off irritates me lol. Also. My mpg took a hit but no sense in complaining as if I was that worried about it I should drive something else.
I REALLY wanted the method 704s but couldn’t sell myself on a 17” wheel.

I'm sticking with 20''s as well, really like that look....
Just a little more on your lift - so did you just order the Carli front coils then the Fox shocks separately - I don't see a kit ( especially for the gas) that they sell with everything. Did you do the track bar relocation bracket?

the springs, shocks and track bar were all individually sourced. Not part of any “kit” per se.

I like them quite a bit.
I think this depends on what you are used to. My last truck was a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with a cobbled together 6" long travel suspension (had 6" Thuren coils on it). Nothing wrong with any of the parts. As a whole I think that truck was awesome for what it was and what it cost. But it pretty much drove like a wheeler. A little bit tighter than a sloppy wheeler, but a wheeler....for the most part (which to me was mostly due to not having a sway bar). I still towed with it and did pretty much anything I wanted and it did it all damn decently. I ran with no sway bar and no steering stabilizer/s. Zero issues for me.
Having said all that, my 2020 F-350 on a Carli 3.5" Level rides quite a bit better. The sway bar I have coming is still on back order and I wanted to compare the Ford and Dodge with no sway bars. The Carli'd Ford is very refined in comparison. It's still a bit floaty just as you said, but it drives and rides very nice. It will be way better once I get the backordered Carli E-venture shocks on though.

What Thuren has to say about coil springs:
Our soft rate coil springs are the perfect blend of a soft ride, high performance, and great control. Resist buying into the Progressive/Multi rate hype, as these are single rate LINEAR coils for a reason. They ride and function better! Ask around and you'll find these are the best riding highest quality coils you can get. 100% MADE IN THE USA!
Carli's take on coils:
The Leveling Lift Springs are a linear spring with a slightly softer rate than stock to provide a leveled stance and smooth ride through the whole travel stroke.
The Lift springs are side specific and multi-rate to provide ride comfort and a secondary increased spring rate to prevent the suspension from hitting the bump stops in their massive travel range.

Mine is a GAS 7.3 - Thinking of going with Carli 3'' gas springs then adding some Fox 2.5'' lift shocks with drop bracket for track bar and extended brake lines .... just need to find a place that will break a kit apart.
The entire Carli Commuter kit seems expensive as I can buy the Fox shock separately for a lot less and don't see the adjustable track bar they offer in the kit....seems cheaper ( and just as good) to use the drop bracket
any thoughts...

and you can absolutely piece together the components in the kits. that is the nice thing about Carli. you can add parts as you go

I'm looking at Method's 17" HD options for my F-350 truck camper that will get 35" tires. Any opinions on the (functional) differences between these two?
305 NV HD 17x8.5 0/4.75"
704 HD 17x9 18/5.75"
What's the real world effect of the 0.5 width difference? 0 vs 18 offset? Is the "Bead Grip" technology on the 704's legit?
