3rd gen spring size

i have a 96 sr5 4runner 4x4 that came with the stock 15" wheel, i recently upgraded to some 2000 limited 16" five star wheels with 265/70 tires. when i did this i noticed the rear and how low it was. are my springs just sagging in the rear, or did 4runner that came with the stock 15" wheels have shorter springs. i am only asking because i have seen 4runners just like mine with the 16" wheels stock and they are higher off the ground in the rear than mine.

I think its just sagging in the rear like most 4Runner. As far as I know, I think the springs are the same.

been there done that, i just took off my lift like a week ago, i have been getting horrible gas mileage because of bigger tires and living in the mountains, so i figured it would be easier to put all my stock stuff back on rather than regearing just to get better gas mileage
