Question:

How much additional height will these crossbars add to my vehicle when attached to raised rails?

The overall height of the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 is 4-1/2" so you're looking at about 3-1/2" of additional height since part of the legs will be clamping to the rails on your 2019 Subaru Forester. When we installed this on a 2019 Forester (see 2:30 mark of linked video) we found the top of the crossbars to be about 4-3/4" above the roof itself.

If you're looking for a rooftop cargo box I recommend checking out the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6357B because it looks really sleek and has quick and easy mounting hardware. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
