I believe my 97 4Runner was built in Japan and I like my Toyotas built there. I have 2 Fords that were built in Wayne Mi. The only current vehicles that I like are the new Ford Raptor and some of the Mustangs none of which are very practical. I doubt that me driving a 13 year old foriegn vehicle hurts the US automakers any more than my driving one of my 30+ year old Fords would help them. I buy what I am comfortble driving and what I like. I can't afford a Raptor so I'll keep my 4Runners & Broncos.

Dont go too high. 3" is the abolute MAX! I would go on that. One of the kits I installed on a 99 runner, the owner kept having me swap out taller and taller springs until it got to a point that he wouldnt even drive it down the road, and he started wearing out ball joints, TRE's and rack bushings.
