Nick, did you guys find a GVWR on your rig?

Mine is 4850#, which gives me 27" front and 29" rear. I'm right at that limit, and apparently you are, too. (As mentioned, it will go by the "frame" height if your bumpers have been modified, which saves me, since mine are actually higher than stock.)

I REALLY need to print out a hard copy of that reg (OAC 4501-43-04 D, the same one Tom posted) for the inevitable day I need it.

By the way, the other half of the argument is proving that the XJ is a "Multipurpose Vehicle" (which goes by the GVWR) vs a "Passenger Vehicle" (which gets a 22" flat limit.)

For that you need:
OAC 4501-43-02 Definitions
(B) Multipurpose vehicle: motor vehicle designed to carry ten or less,
either on a truck frame, or with special features for offroad operation.

We've got plenty of those!

Robert
