Guys,
There are several cases out there which describe the exact same phenomenon.
I'm dealing with it too! So far, Toyota ignores it. The fact is that the tire runs into the body on full upward travel. This means that the bump stop is insufficient. YOU DO NOT NEED TO JUMP THE CAR TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN! Inspecting several vehicles, it shows that the tire clearances against the body are all over the place on this vehicle. This means, some vehicles have an issue, some not. Just inspect your front body mounts and check on the height of the rubber piece between left and right. This gives you an idea of how much variation there is...
People who have encountered this problem: please contact me with your email address. The more people we get together the more pressure we can put on Toyota to fix this issue - Thanks!

Just checked on the front mounts. Mine are unequal. One being 1/4 inch shorter that the other. I'm defininitly going to see about replacing them with the ones I mentioned earlier. Thanks and rep to you for pointing that out. I was having bumper clearance issues on one side of the body at extreme flex. Very slight. Now I know why. Thanks again for at least finding my issue
