Dang it, Ivan!!
Yeah, the front is at 47.25-47.5 (depending on side) and the rear is at 44.75 at the center of the drop bumper with 48.25 at the ends.........yep, NOT LEGAL.(MT has no bumper height laws, but that height puts me just about 1.25 inches under the taillight limit and WAY above the headlight limit.)
