Cant really complain when you live in a country that is capitalistic, every us company wants to increase profits and decrease costs, if that means making products overseas most will do it. The whole economy revolves around increasing profits at all costs so this is what you are left with..

All you can really do is if you have a problem with a product is contact the manufacture and see if they will resolve the issue, or buy someone else's product.
many high quality products are made in china, however they aren't always the cheapest product in their category on the market either.

So which country is next. I remember when people did not want anything from Japan, then it was ok, then no one wanted anything made in Mexico, now people don't even care if it does, now things are made in China, and people are starting to accept that, what's the next country that is going to start making junk that we swear up and down that we will never buy from?

If you were to sit down and take a look around at all the stuff you have I bet you would be shocked at where it was made. Anymore you can't get around it. Go to a big retailer or home improvement store. I purchased a leveling kit from them have not installed, have heard good reviews and will install it on my Jeep.

Not all of their products; their wheels for example are made in China - but they don't try to hide the fact, it's the first thing they mention under tech specs (they even apologize for it and offer a lengthy explanation, lol)
I still have plenty of love for AEV, especially considering their right in my neck of the woods - just saying that not even they are immune to off shore manufacturing.

Most wheels are made in China, no way around it.... Now suspension companies a lot are made here.
Rock Krawler
EVO
rancho
rusty's
Clayton Off Road
TnT
To name a few... These companies will out source to local foundries that employ Americans, this comes at a higher cost, but these companies still remain competitive.
China is CHEAP to manufacture in, the rest is just profits.... not that you should complain about money in the pocket of a company that makes the product.
You do have a choice!
