No clue...But you may want to check lift laws.
I believe in michigan 24 inches to bottom of frame is the max height for legal. After that it gets towed.

Funny to see tho!EDIT: I believe OH measures from the bottom of the back bumper...not the frame.

That would be bad to measure from the bumpers.

There are many combos, find a pic of a rig you find here and post it. Then that person will tell you what he has.

Your request is unique though. Most jeepers aim for a specific tire size they want and lift to fit.

Here's a good link to make sure the lift you want is legal in your state...

That was typical in OH as well...wouldn't nab you specifically for the lift, or for over-tinting...but katy-bar the door if you have a tail light out or something small such as that...they'll get ya for all of it, especially in some of the 'burbs of Columbus!

HA Ky says drive the monster truck we don't care he he. I love this state.
As far as this thread goes.
How much money you got too spend lol cause that is a lot of work to jump to a height like that. And if it is out of your states laws then it would be a trail only rig.

My brother has 39.5 Iroks with plenty of articulation room and his sub-frame is 24" off the ground. You are talkin a stupid tall mud only rig.
An inch of tire is only a half inch of clearance so maybe 49"Roks or ag tires would get you that tall

My neighbor across the street has an F250 with 44" tires and from ground to frame he's much higher then 24"...He rarely drives the thing and it's a diesel and costs him a pretty penny to drive.. I'll have to snap a pic this week..
