I went and laid a straight edge across the fenders on my JC #205 Raptor - depending on where you measure it, there's about 1/4" drop down in the middle of the body compared to the edge of the fenders. The Method body is straight across, so if you leave the mounts in the same place, it's going to be lower. Closer inspection of my old JC body indicates the 2w rubbed enough to go clear through the paint in 3 of 4 fenders!

One notch up on the front body posts and it clears by enough, I think. I wish I'd known that before I trimmed it, else I'd of left another 1/4" of apron in the front. Next time.
