I can't say you're wrong, but (A) That'd be a really arbitrary (dumb) way to determine allowed lift. A Jeep used to deliver pizzas can be 5-7" taller than one that just fetches them?

And (B) I'll check, but I bet my stock F250 is way over 22" frame height. It'd be a real kick in the teeth to get a lift ticket on a stock rig...

Of course, just because it's arbitrary or unfair doesn't mean it's not the law, so like I said, I can't say you're wrong.

But it is really unclear, and either way, it's poorly written.

Edit: For what it's worth, the BMV's website lists a $34.50 fee for "Passenger," $49.50 for for "Light Non-Comm" and $84.50 for "Heavy Non-Comm."

I could (and would!) argue that if I'm paying for more than passenger plates, I've got more than a passenger vehicle...
