...I have no idea what the forumula is, its also COG dependant. you can tip an 4.5 lifted XJ farther to the side if the spare is mounted on the back and not on the roof. Basically the flop point is when there is more weight pulling to the side than down. Its hard to explain

I dont know where they came up with the whole drinking and riding anyways, then i went along with their off topic ****uation and added my two sense. The whole "here hold my beer watch this" did not mean anything toward what them guys turned this into.

Basically you are just gonna have to learn the angels and how much your jeep will take before it will roll over. Every vehicle is diffrent, you gotta get the feel. It will also pertain to if your sway bars are disconnected or not.
