I don't have pictures or measurements from before I replaced the tires with the Wildpeak A/T4W in stock size SL load (265/70r18). But this tire droop is catching my eye as "is that supposed to be so low?"

I didn't get under for a close look, but it does look like it's in the side bracket reasonably well (pictured). Curious to hear from anyone else who has replaced their spare tire.

Linking the discussion we're having over in the "tire upgrade" thread for reference here, but for folks stumbling on this thread, this seems to be what everybody moving up to 33s on stock suspension can expect.

 
Factory installed tires... slightly above the rear diff
