Greater the wear, the higher the pedal before release.

Around 1/2 way off the floor and the higher off the floor to engage 3/4 and up would worry me.

Mine engages within about 2 inches of the floor. I worried about it being too tight when I first got the truck, but that has been 7 years and several thousand miles ago.
