Default Frame height

I just got my jku and am looking into lifts. I've decided on a AEV 3.5 with 1.25 bl and 37 bfg km2's. we have a frame height law here that I'll have to follow. Would any body with a similar lift be able to measure their top of the frame rail at the highest point, I think over the rear tire. It would be much appreciated. Thnx

We have a frame height law here but it is measured at the lowest part of the fame... I believe it is 28" for us. Hope you get your answer...

How about a quick look to see if the top of the frame is below a 37" tire

I guess that's Canada for you. I've heard of bumper heights but not frame heights.

Illinois has a frame height law. For our Jeep the frame can't be more than 24" off the ground at the lowest point.

Our law is pretty generous, I divide track width by frame height at the highest point and it has to come in under 1.8 for a wheelbase 108" and over. I think if it is 37" it should be ok.
