Default 400NL - Please school me on the river c/r bluff

I'm just moving up from 200 where I crushed the games playing a pretty straightforward 19/16/4 style. I'm realizing that I need to start adding some new tricks to my arsenal if I expect to make cake at 400. So I've been thinking alot about checkraising the river more, both for value, and as a bluff.

villain is playing a very LAG game, running @ 34/25/4 over 240 hands. I'm not sure how much it matters over a smallish sample, but his wtsd is only @ 11%. I haven't decided if he's a good/great/bad LAG yet. I think he probably sees me as kinda nitty, but aggro and solid.

So is this a good spot for a c/r bluff? Why, or why not? I feel like it is for a couple reasons - mostly because of my image, and the fact that it's unlikely he can have a king strong enough to stand a c/r here.
