Model Of Vehicle: RANGER XLT PX3

Hi .... can someone assist in the following .... I have a MY19 XLT with the tub removed and a tray added. The tray is for my Wedgetail camper.

I am interested in understanding my combined C of G and therefore potential rollover angle. I understand that this varies with lots of variables, but to keep it simple I have been working on a static model. I have calculated the C of G of camper. I have calculated the horizontal component of the Ranger C of G (thanks to the ranger5g forum), however, there seems to be a blank on the vertical component. The methods of weighing the vehicle with rear wheels raised is not hugely practical for me, so I have been looking at applying some maths to calculate an approximation.

Has anyone come across any C of G values for newer model Rangers ? I have also tried to look for published tilt/rollover angles as a way of getting to where I want, however, I have found very little other than a value of 35degrees from an article published overseas. Can anyone advise on angles ?
Cheers
