I did a little research trying to hunt down who makes what and where it's really made. Talked to Chad at Randy's Ring and Pinion, searched the web business directory, and cross-referenced part numbers. Here's what I found:
Randy's Ring and Pinion is also known as Ring and Pinion, Inc. The business is classified as Automotive Repair Shop and has 120 employees in three locations.
Randy's owns brands:
USA Standard Gear
Value Gear
Yukon Dura Lock
Yukon Gear & Axle
According to Chad, Randy's gets their Dana 44 gears from Superior Axle and Gear. These are branded as USA Standard Gear or if you want a prettier box Yukon Axle.
Superior Axle and Gear is also known as Foote Axle and Forge L.L.C., is classified as Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories and has a total of 46 people. Their web site states "We are a 100% in-house manufacturer. We forge, CNC machine, heat treat, precision grind and spline right here in our Los Angeles facility."
Therefore USA Standard Gear = Yukon = Superior = Foote Axle and Forge = made in the USA -- At least for the Dana 44 gear set.
Couldn't find much on Alloy USA, LLC except that the business is classified as Auto and Home Supply Stores with a total of 6 people. Obviously they don't make their own gears.

This was true at the beginning now the yukon gears are a different MFG that we have been using for years and we have had great luck with.
