What size lift does a Ranger Raptor have over a regular Raptor?
Ranger Raptors ride on 285/70/r17 which is only 1.7" shorter than the 315/70/r17 spotted on the Bronco.

Edit: meant over regular Ranger not over regular Raptor

I'm no Raptor expert (F-150 or Ranger) but I believe the use longer arms, which make for a wider track, but allow for longer travel.

Yeah, 33s rather than 35s, which is not a small difference in terms of fitting them into fenders. I can't find a hard number on how much it was lifted, but according to this article it has 2" more ground clearance, so probably around that much. It's also a differently shaped fender.
https://www.autocar.co.nz/car-revie...:text=Raptor uses the same 2.0,sec 80-120km/h.

Thanks Jalisurr. I knew someone would know more than I. Tire size has alittle to do with more ground clearance. i.e. no suspension change but put a taller tire on it now it have half of the tire increase more ground clearance. 2" taller tire = 1" more ground clearance.

Really depends on width at that point. Anyone running 40's on the F150 raptor?
(not really up on them)

you mean just like the original off road vehicle of North America? BTW, they would have scoffed at your puny 35" diameter axle raisers as well.
Haha, yes, exactly. Those things had great low range but TERRIBLE ride quality.

Just like a Wrangler!
