I'm curious to hear ya'lls thoughts on which knuckles you would go with and why. Reid or Rancho. I know the Reid knuckles have been around longer and are tried and tested. Rancho's knuckles are somewhat newer on the market, but the company, from what I have always understood, makes quality products.

Thoughts on Reid vs. Rancho on new knuckles for a '13 JKU?

Thanks.

 

I went with the Rancho knuckles. I'm very satisfied with them, and they are priced better than the Reid's. They are very beefy and well built.

 

Rancho had a 3 year warranty. Reid has no warranty and cost more. Way more.

Rancho can be bought for $350 on rock auto.

I went with rancho. Zero issues

 

You can't go wrong with either. Don't try to justify the price of the Reid knuckles to yourself...Rancho makes quality products and has amazing customer service (and a solid presence on this forum). Save the extra $$ and go with Rancho.

 

If buying USA made products is important to you, your choice will be easier.

 

Yes, if you're that kind of person who strongly believes in "only buying American made products" then yeah, get the Reid knuckles.

Rancho is an American company, and manufactures 90(?)% of their products here in the USA. Their knuckles are designed here, and manufactured overseas (just like your iPhone is), hence how they're offering them for less $$ than the Reid and Teraflex counterparts.

It's 2017, hardly anything you touch/use/own in your everyday life is made here anymore. Designed here? Yeah maybe. I work in tech, and while we manufacture like 25% of our products here locally, we also import a ton of servers, switches, and proximity beacons. If we have any issues....we'll that's what our QC and customer service departments are for. Lucky for you, Rancho's customer service is right here in the US of A and they're a stand up company...so if you have any issues they'll resolve it very quickly. I doubt their operations are anything like Smittybilt.

 

Like!! MAGA!

 

didn't realize it ever stopped being great. Maybe you should leave?

Seriously though we're talking Jeep here, go on some political forums or something where someone might actually care.

 

amen brother.

 

I paid a LOT more to buy a USA made winch and bumper.
