Let's see you prove that with your hand in the "gap" I call bull****, definitely rubbing and you should rotate those expensive (useless now) tires weekly if you actually haul with this because you're definitely making contact on ANY road whether paved or not.

Almost entirely correct, except that the rear will almost always have more travel.
Here's an example of what a trophy/race truck can do. Remember, they are driving on the desert at highway speeds, and most are 2WD. This truck was outfitted with a full cantilever linked system. I believe this particular truck pulls ~18" of travel up front, ~28" in back.
Prerunners are basically scaled down versions of race/trophy trucks, but with amenities useful for scouting a course ahead of the race trucks, such as windshields, AC, etc. Many prerunners also act as chase trucks to assist in repairs, tows, etc.
Now I'll admit, my own truck has a bit of squat, but not by choice. I have a camper in back, and the previous owner never got around to finishing the bed cage/long travel leaf springs, so the front has massive coilovers, but the back is almost completely stock. This gives me like a ~2" difference, which I absolutely HATE. Makes me feel like the truck is overloaded, without actually doing anything meaningful. I would much rather have a leveled, lifted truck than a squatted truck.

Well it's actually in a ditch in the picture, that was neither on bump stops nor rubbing. On flat land, it's obviously not rubbing. This is with the wood still in the bed.
