I have a 2-door and is running on 285/70r17 with +25mm offset. the wheel well looks perfect as it fills up pretty nicely - Does look a lil stubby now tho so I am thinking of a lift but nothing too crazy where I have to increase the tire size. i think 33's are perfect for my 2-door without having the monster truck look to it.
I was thinking of 2 inches in the front and just 1 inch in the rear.

Would love to see some photos of a 2-door running on 285's with lifts.

thank you

**Update;
Decided to go with the 1 inch level kit from rough country. also ordered the red calipers from rough country while i was at it. Also ordered a raptor style black grille with the FORD letters. Thank you all.

I don't think Ford did a lift for the Badlands which comes with 33" tires (LT285/70R17).

Look for pictures of 2-door Badlands to see what one looks like without lifts.

It is lifted vs. Base/Big Bend/Outer Banks but slightly lower than Sasquatch - uses similar suspension to Sasquatch.

I vote lift, no more than 2", if you off road, it will bring sprung components (fuel tank engine, gear boxes, frame) up out of harms way

That's just the difference in tire diameters. I don't think there's any actual lift.
The difference in Bilsteins vs Hitachis really, and yeah tires make up some of that too.
