Fender gap vs. Lift?

Ok I was looking at pictures of Toyota 4x4's and came across these.

How is this one 3" Suspension Lift and 3" Body Lift: (35's)


And this one says it's 4" Suspension and 3" Body: (35's)


Just wondering how 1" of lift difference would make that much of a difference in Fender two Wheel Gap...

One of them is not telling the truth. Looks like the top one is not right. Looks like he has almost no lift. Those tires will hit the fenders.

Yeah i figured that the first one was BS. It says that the wheels are 15x12, and the tires are 35's.

Is the first one even able to drive on the street?

I would guess that you would have to cut alot just to drive it off road.

I doubt you would be able to turn the wheels to make it drivable.

If you wanted to run tires that big you would need at least 6" of lift.

Clearly the first one is not drivable like that,

But I think it looks pretty cool.

Some big fender flares is all it needs

The 1st might be able to be driven...Turning would be another story. Does anyone remember the 1st Austin Powers movie?

You guys crack me up. You guys really think the 1st truck looks cool?? I think it looks like crap. Like it's Tommy the turds brother. It looks like a 2wd on oversized tires. I think the second truck looks better. Even with the thornbirds hahaha.

^^ haha. Yea that first truck looks like SHAT. the second one is nice though. I mean, im a fan of low lift and big tires. I ran a 2inch lift and 34 LTBs on my wrangler, it was amazing. but that just LOOKS rediculous.

OK, It's what I like not you guys, and thats what matters.
That's all I'm gonna say, I'm not a fan of DOWNING/ARGUING on the computer It's pointless....

For everyone else thanks for the info.

I think they are the 15x8 4" BS rims, might be wrong on the back spacing though.
