Picked up this beast a few months ago. As seen it is sitting on 33/12.5-16.5s.

I’m in the market for new tires and found a smoking deal on raptor takeoff 315/17s. Wondering if anyone can tell by the current stance the approximate lift on the truck?

Stock suspension measures 8.5” between the bottom of the frame and the top of the front axle tube.

My half-ton is sitting on a 2" lift and 33x12.50-15s if this helps you.

Are you always going to have the camper on it? Would be interesting to see the height with it unloaded.

This is mine with 315/75R16s and a 5" lift.

Here's my last truck. I installed a 4" Tuff Country spring lift in front and a 4" rear block. The measurement from the upper body trim to the axle center lines is 32". Tires were 33x12.50x16.5".

Assuming you have the rims for the 17s, 315-70-17 is virtually the same size as 33-12.50s. No issue if you’re happy with the fit now.
