How do I know if my 99 4Runner has the stock "tall" springs?

I have a 1999 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 Limited with the E-Locker... My question is how do I know if my stock springs are the springs that are supposed to give 2" over 2000-2002 4Runners and 1" over 1996-1998 4Runners? I may be mistaken but I thought only some of the 99 4Runners came with these special springs.

I'm pretty sure you tell by the colors of paint at the bottom of the shock, there's different color combinations that indicate it, but im not sure what they are. i've seen it posted up before so if you search enough you might find it

Thanks Lowman... I just looked and my front right spring has the Pink Yellow color scheme, that does mean I have the "stock" lift correct? Do all 99's have this?

Yup those should be the "tall" coils. I THINK most 99s had the taller coils but not all.

Thanks again! One more question, what size tires can I fit under without rubbing?
