Default "How High" for Raptor Style Look?

Hello everyone, I have a 2015 Lariat but recently purchased these Raptor Rims and Tires. I was wondering what type of lift I should do to keep a stockish Raptor look. I appreciate how the Raptor does not look "too" lifted and I am trying to replicate it (2017 look). Anything helps, thanks.

I'd say 3-4" lift should get the look you want.

2" in front with a slightly larger rear block would be all you need.
Advertising for the raptor claims 2 inches taller than f150 4x4
Quick Google search showed f150 4x4 at 76.9 inches tall and raptor at 78.5 inches.

2" front lift and about 1" higher in the rear. 315/70R17 are approximately 35" tall.

In other words, most leveling kits, with 35's will get you a similar stance to the raptor.

PS: I think the Raptor rear block is actually 5/8" higher than a normal 4x4 block, but not many lift kits have that exact height.Also, most leveling kits are 2.5" instead of 2" so if you want the EXACT height you need to pay attention.

Raptor rear blocks are 2-1/2 inches and taper to 2-5/8 inches.

Get in touch with Baja Kits by Brenthel. They have a 4" Lift Spindle for 2wd trucks that works with the OEM coilovers. That should get you the height you need in the front, then for the rear you can either do a new leaf pack (Deaver, National, WSI) or a bigger rear block.
