2004 SR5 Driver side wheel clearance

I have discovered that my driver side wheel and wheel well clearance is off by a quarter of an inch to half. Somehow, the passenger side has better clearance. This makes it uneven. Tilt leaning slightly one side. Anyone have this problem? (found the earlier post) I sent to a local Toyota dealership and they said it's fine!
I don't think so, I think the left and right should have the same height clearance. I see the earler thread and wonder if a lift will help to level this?
I measured it with a yard stick using center of the wheel as reference. I went off road (rocks) once and bash my tail pipe due to severe approach angles and over some nasty rocks.
No scrape on bottom but afterwards, I get a tire pressure warning light. It went off at hot temp but will come on once it is colder?
Please advise and help. I will definitely need a lift kit, the stock 2004 4runner is too low. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Check the pressure in your tires, including the spare, and make sure they are all the same...

Sorry, I have no advice on your lift kit question.

don't forget that you have the gas tank and the driver along w/ the batt sitting on the driver side so naturally the driver side will lean abit (alot of 4runners experience this along w/ other vehicles).

as for lift, what is current available:

Spacer technology:
Daystar Spacers (2.5")
Revtek Spacers (3")

Nitrous Enterprises 1" add-on plate for Revtek Spacers (gives you 4" of total lift).

Pending:
Downey Coilovers
Sway A Way Coilovers
Donahoe Racing Coilovers
Fabtech Coilovers
