96 runner factory wheel well gap
I have tried searching, found nothing. Maybe there is a tread I'm missing, but I was curious, what is the distance (gap) between the top of the tire, and the fender on factory 3rd gen 4 runners.
I have a stock 96, and when my truck sits next to a white 3rd gen in my aparent complex, mine looks like it has a much bigger gap front and back. I plan to lift it soon, so I'm curious how it should be from the factory. Basically I want to assure I don't have some small lift from the previous owner.
Help?

What the Wabbit said and a VERY good point. Mine's an SR5 4wd 96 with p265/70r16.
My SR5 99 4wd w/16" wheels came stock with taller springs than my 96. The 02 is pretty short IIRC. In other words, different options/years offer different heights. That's why I gave the info on the truck and pics so you could see what I was measuring. Based on what you're saying I agree, you're stock.

I just wanted to make sure. Because the white runner out side looks like its dragging it's ass on the ground. My truck rIdes really well, perhaps it just has new shocks? Either way old man emu is going in. Thanks guys
