Minimum Lift to fit LT315/70r17 Raptors?
I know there are myriad posts on fitment and I've browsed the fitment doc - so my apologies for asking again but....
I have acquired these tires/wheels from a family member. I would like to lift/level my 2014 F150 Screw 4x4 5.0 only enough to fit these.
What are my options? Can I get away with just a 1.5" level?
Blessings!

2" should get you right there. I've got the same setup you're wanting to put on, except my wheels are the machined ones, same offset, same width.

Just to be safe, I'd go with a 2". Originally, I had a 2" spacer when I first went with this combination, since, I've gone to Boss Coilovers. How you lift it shouldn't make any difference. I will tell you, I'm one of "those" guys that feels if you have to trim anything, the combination you chose, doesn't fit. I'm in the minority there, I know.
I've had zero rubbing, and no other problems with this setup.
Photos needed once you do it!!!

Had my coilovers set at about 1-3/4" of lift when I put my Raptor wheels and tires on last year. Full lock going forward I would rub my WeatherTech mud flaps in the front so I had to trim those a little, and full lock reverse to the right I would hit the lower bumper valance a little so I had to trim that a little as well.

Alright, I had the local shop put a 2" leveler on the front Thursday. I got the tires and wheels mounted yesterday and I am very pleasantly surprised at the look - not being my first choice for a wheel but getting a great deal on them with nearly brand new KOs.
EDIT: meant to mention not a sign of rubbing. Tech said it was close with the brakes but all good!
