I recommend checking out maps on the website. There's an interactive version you can pan around on.

Do you have the ORV license & trail permits?

Yes bought them today.
The maps are pretty generic on what trails allow larger vehicles.

All routes and roads will be fine. if you get on a width restricted trail, you might run into problems (52" width max).

You can download individual PDFs for the routes here. The routes marked in brown are legal for Jeeps. In Manistee, it appears to just be Lincoln Hills, Little Manistee North & South, and Tin Cup Spring

Both the downloadable and interactive seem to show the same colors for trails that are not legal for Jeeps. Yellow and one shade of pink for motorcycle trails and a second shade of pink for width restricted (50") trails.

This thread may help you out too. I've only done some of the ORV routes marked in brown in my Jeep. I've never tried the DNR roads marked in light green that he asked about.
